Sven taught me how to go shopping once in Summer of 2017 Updated 10-17-20

 

“Praise You” by Fatboy Slim. Someone in authority  said to me that blogging was a passive way of relating. Oh really, you think? 

I was an impatient shopper for years after he left us.

(Have been learning to be gentle.)

Space X!

When Sven taught me how he did it, this song was playing.

I sang and danced all around the store the whole time(praising him)! I was in Cheerleader mode

which is by the way another song that did not help! I made him a mix; it did not help.

XFest this last weekend in Holyoke, Greenfield, NCMC and Easthampton MA

I can't wait to get all my photo and video up here but for now, I just want to show you what we did yesterday at about 2:45 pm for about 11'. Adam Bosse's Improv Class: his salute to the Noise movement. It wasn't what I thought at all! There are roots in Free Jazz/punk and new wave, artistically not to mention the huge influence of John Cage and Kahrleinz Stockhausen, as well; but we were about the loudest band. It was a peaceful, delightful and calm gathering. Simpatico folks contributed to an atmosphere which was conducive to experimentation, daring new things in Music as well as in Art and Movement and finding the unexpected always!

Here we are: Adam Bosse's Improv Class at the 121 Club(the former Apollo Grill restaurant: a big space at 129 Eastworks in Easthampton MA): Drums, Electric Bass, 2 Electric Guitars and Electronic Keyboard:

It's compressed into mp3 here so earphones or a good speaker system would help you and us:)!

XFest

Players more experienced than we are came before and after us and their vid/pictures will follow.

For instance I heard flutist/saxophonist Rasmussen Moshé is well known in Brooklyn NY Free Jazz.
