What is Revolt 1989?  Well, the un-obvious answer is………well it was kind of a band.  Sort of, for one night live and for a few days of recording.  A short lived band I imagined while living in Asia.  It was also the year of a very famous protest in Asia.  Over the last two years I watched quite a few of these revolts.  Ideas that now spread almost as easily as the wind.    Much like what the wind would carry where I lived.  A phenomenon called yellow sand.  No not a derogatory term.  Yet, a real thing; a dust from China, which would appear all over my stuff overnight, if I had left my windows open.   One day, I found this sand and dust on my bass.  I felt sad that I had neglected this instrument in such a way, even for a day.  So, I wiped it off and began to play it again.  Not long after that, one fall afternoon, I met a few guys in a nearby park.  These fellows also played stringed instruments.   One of those hombres was Juan Pablo.  He played a bass once in Panama.  He also played a jovial accordion, which brought many smiles.   One night we wrote some songs together on a bridge, at the edge of a red light district in a far off land.  It was a cold night, yet somehow, we met many crooked and twisted fellow Thud Stick players that night.  We also somehow wrote a few songs on that bridge.  The view was amazing, inspiration was running high, and some strange people came and watched us play. I then ran home and quickly bought a Theremin.   Juan Pablo then sailed on for new lands and new frontiers soon after.  I felt it was a great collision for the Thud Stick, which I won’t soon forget.
