In Tai Wai to record the second session of Kaman. This time we recorded in a piano room in her residential complex. After we started in what we thought was going to be a quiet location, a group of children invaded the playground area which happened to be in the same space! We carried on with the rest of the session with Kaman adding a few minutes at the end to compensate for any future edits.

Upon playback I discovered there were only a few spots where the kids were too loud. There were other spots that the kids could be heard but I think I will keep it. It gives a sense of place.

Kaman used her crystal bowls with the monochord this time. In the quiet room, I could finally hear the monochord’s sound, which at times sounded almost human-like. I could have sworn I heard it sing or speak. I think the pairing of the bowls and monochord was perfect and is one of my favorite sessions I have recorded.

Half my day was spent putting this song up here, taking it down, redoing the vocals, the guitars, the mix, the, the vocals and guitars again and again and again and again...I don't know at this point if I'll ever be fully satisfied w/ this song but for now I'm going to bed because it's six am and I've been at it an insane amount of hours. Got some other dope songs done tho so that's koo,,. Enjoy!

Christine in Denver, Colorado, is pondering the etiquette of correcting someone's pronunciation. How do you approach knowing the actual pronunciation of a word, when it's not the most common one? For example, Christine learned that the name of the Japanese clothing store Uniqlo is pronounced YOO-ni-kloh, but some people she knows call it yoo-NEEK-loh. Is it kinder to offer a gentle correction, or should you adopt what you know is the wrong pronunciation in order to be agreeable? http://waywordradio.org

Dan from Jacksonville, Florida, grew up in South Louisiana, where speakers of Cajun French say Garde de donc! to mean "Well, would you look at that!" or "Can you believe this?" The phrase is used to point out something foolish or surprising. The same idea may be rendered as Mais garde donc or Garde donc or Garde mais donc, the garde coming from the French word meaning "look at" and the donc meaning "there." It's unrelated to the term gaga, which originates in French hospital slang gâteux, referring to someone who lacks all their faculties. http://waywordradio.org

The expression tight as a tick is inspired by the idea of being full-to-bursting, like one of those insects when it's engorged with blood. Tight as a tick can also describe someone who's quite drunk or very miserly. Other phrases that connote extreme tightness are tight as a drum and tight as a duck's butt. http://waywordradio.org

If you're in a book club, how do you decide what books to read? In some groups, everyone takes turns choosing a book. In others, they take a vote. Others encourage everyone to read a different book and then report on it to the group. Emily Drabinski, president of the American Library Association, is in a group that reads 50 books a year, choosing from a list that includes "a book with a word or phrase that describes you in the title," "a book with a color in the title, "a book you first heard about in social media," and other suggestions. These broad categories make for reading that's invigorating, mind-expanding, and serendipitous. http://waywordradio.org

I'm gunna ruin it!

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I wouldn't do the things you do to me
So stay away, away, away 

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I couldn't do the things you do to me
So stay away, away, away 

No quid pro quo for never
In the life that I've been living for
Mystery man
Shine a light into the mystery next door

And if I live and die here
Who have I been living here for?
I'm not a slug, I have a shell
I could be living here no more 

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I wouldn't do the things you do to me
So stay away, away, away 

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I couldn't do the things you do to me

It's been an uneasy peace for so long
I admit that
I know it 'cause I'm responsible, too
But don't punish me, don't punish them
Don't punish anyone
If we're locking hearts, it's now or never 

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I wouldn't do the things you do to me
So stay away, away, away 

Opened up my heart
Never gonna let you in again
Don't want any more
I have learned my lesson now
If I was you I couldn't do the things you do to me
