A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Ugh. Anyone else fatigued by all the “development” going on in J.C. and Hoboken? I agree it’s an amazing oasis in the area and should be left alone.

Regina J:

It’s awful: one of the worst things to come out of this is the false narrative pushed by Fireman that the folks who are trying to preserve the park don’t care about the needs of lower-income residents. When I attended a presentation by the EPA, there were a bunch of young people there who were shouting things like “you care more about birds and fish than you do about kids!” Someone there tried to convince me that Fireman wasn’t trying to make a buck off the privatization, because he (and I quote) “does things for the community under the table all the time. You’re all just hating on him because he’s a successful businessman.” Ummmm, sure.

↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @9:51
First single for my old band had the G tuned up to G#, but I haven't used that tuning in a long time.

Right now I've got:
#1: Standard but B string is tuned up to C
#2: Standard but high E string is tuned down to D
#3: Standard but low E string is tuned down to D
#4: Both #1 and #2 at the same time

So... nothing very exotic at the moment (except maybe #4), always just one or two strings off. For awhile I had my "fuck-around-with guitar" tuned entirely down a full step, plus #2 above ... but that guitar (which was a gift to me from a stranger I met in a bar the day before he was moving to Canada to live with his park ranger girlfriend, not even kidding) is an old Seagull with some truss rod issues and a hole in the face of it and it just can't hold tuning or intonation, so I'm trying to think of creative ways to dispose of it.

If you've never listened to Skip James check him out. Actually Fahey did a great version of James' "Special Rider Blues", it's interesting to compare the two versions.

Thanks! Based on this, I see the Blind Joe Death material is mostly in standard tuning. Makes sense, as it's traditionals and original compositions which are an homage to this. But once he moves over to alternate tunings, it's like the whole universe opens up

Saw Fahey at small venue, Schuba’s in Chicago late in his life. Played a Strat, he asked small crowd, “Anyone have a chunk of metal I can borrow?” I handed him my Leatherman mini multi tool, and he proceeded to play some other worldly soaring slide guitar. No, he did give it back, and thanked me. What a night.

This is a delayed reply to Trouble's nice words about my Radio Row (I had to step away for an hour and missed it). Thanks for all of your kind words on Sunday as well!

I thought he said "ridin' in her lemon car" and I was imagining a Richard Scarry situation.

I'd say there's some Kraftwerk influence in this tune.

I personally am offended that the lyricist used "driving in her limo car" and followed up with the next verse ending in "dream". Certainly "driving her limousine" would have paired better with "dream", rhyme wise.

Has Key Wilde done a taco / tortilla themed song with or without a lemon car for Double Dip yet? This is a hit song for the plucking

Robot mention prompts sharing of a quote scorning AI generated versions of artists/performers, on the occasion of AI-produced George Carlin material. One impressionist says it's like
"watching a Roomba carry a football 50 yards. There’s no link to an actual living person whose creative energies we recognize and admire."

Just stumbled across FMU after spending my first 18 yrs of life in JC, and most of the rest in NYC. WOW !! Where have you been ? Trouble - the Gorecki was a most amazing set from an amazing show. I just became a life-long listener. Kudos
