Sounds like a sequel to Eskellin's "Jazz Trash" which is the same lineup...
Unusual yet very captivating stuff !

Subject: moondog, reports of his demise greatly exaggerated
someone mentioned a while back that
Moondog might have died recently.
appears it was just a rumour.
hasta.
Yes. Beautiful, wonderful nature. Hear it sing to us: *snap* Yes. natURE.
- ---------- Forwarded message ----------
well, he was very much alive when we spoke on the phone yesterday, and in the
kind of mental state i hope to be in when i'm his age-- he's a year younger
than sinatra, says he hasn't even had a cold in 2 years.
he's working on his masterpiece composition, it needs four conductors there's
so much going on, and his sax pax for a sax record is really fun.
just wanted to let you know.

Subject: Fahay and Black
Just wanted to take a moment to second somebody's (sorry, I've been catching
up and lost track) positive comments on guitarist John Fahey's disk
Womblife. I've been listening to it almost constantly since I got it a
couple of weeks ago, and think it's easily one of the best disks of the
year. It would not be out of place in any zornsters collections. It's got an
ambient/wall of sound kind of approach, filled with noise and clatter, but
also filled with emotion and the blues. Dark and disturbing, it doesn't get
much better. I know that Fahey's been around since the 60's, but I only have
this and the prior release. I know that his early work is also considered
fantastic, but can anyone give me any insight?
Also add my name to the raves on Jim Black, I've seen him twice now, with
different grouips, and can't add anything that others haven't already said.
Also, and this is just a question, would anyone else care to see the offers
for sale split off into another list?
yours in zornocity --ds

How does this disc compare to the recent 'City of Refuge'??
