The eventual winners were a duo called "The Two Sleepys", "Sleepy" the Dormouse on Melodica and Steve "Sleepy" Mauro on drums. The drums are in 19/16 time and sound fantastic.

I am old enough to be Katie Perry's father, but thankfully i am not.
I like Katie Perry as a reggae baritone, she is much more expressive. Frank Zappa is music, Katie Perry is also music and a legitimate target for me to manipulate. I love this track but then it was written by a committee of evil songwriters, i didn't stand a chance. I prefer my twisted reggae baritone version though : )


Wide Awake (Reggae baritone remix)

Featuring dwarf donkey extreme chanting trio - Piff Paff Poff. Also Cort MGM guitar through  a Morley wah wah into TH2 using G7th capo and metal tipped plectrum.

The Piff Paff Poff Sessions (Mutant daffodils)

Tis the season to be jolly, so i thought i would experiment with some sparkling wine, Lagioiosa Proseco Doc Treviso, £6.99 at Morrison's, bargain. 


One Good Sparkling Wine Is Enough

This is Tom Waits reading a Charles Bukowski poem called "The laughing heart"
The first version is here - https://soundcloud.com/deeplydazzled1/you-are-marvelous-and-the-gods-wait-to-delight-in-you-bukowski-laughing-heart-read-by-tom-waits

You are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you.

You are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you.

Your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.

You are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you.
You are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you.

There may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.

You are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you.

You can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, 
You can't beat death but
you can beat death in life,
That's a beauty
That's a beauty

the gods wait to delight in you.
That's a beauty
That's a beauty

You are Marvellous (Second version)

Does this track go forwards? or backwards? I think the horizon lies somewhere in the middle, so if you listen in stereo you should be OK.

Steve Hillage = Gong = Daevid Allen. 
Back in the 1970's, things were quite normal and very Very modern, as each year went by, everything new was state of the art. Gong fitted right in, under the radar, swimming with the Mothers in the cess pool of excitement. I miss those dirty old days...



Gong Is something in the mind

This is track 5 on CD 2, Recorded in 2003 on a  MT400, 4 track cassette recorder.
No beer, just tea and Golden Virginia rollies with a Swan slim-line filter for my health.
The first half of this bass riff is a direct copy of the first half of a Bill Nelson bass riff,
The second half of the bass riff is just what I came up with next and has nothing to do with Bill Nelson whatsoever.
I played the bass on a Yamaha PSR 320 keyboard.
A brief guitar riff on an Epiphone Les Paul Custom.... and...
Then I figured out how to use the Arpegiator on my Yamaha PSR 320  keyboard.
Then I figured out that if I put TWO Swan slim-line filters in my Golden Virginia rollies, I would live twice as long.
Then I figured out how to record audio from SKY TV into the MT400,
I think it was the GOD channel that I stumbled onto and a preacher called Benny Hinn singing "Then sings my soul" 
Then i rolled a double filter rollie and played Benny Hinn singing over my Bill Nelson inspired backing track and I thought I was onto something.

CD 2

Angels are waiting.

This is a track made up of lyrics that I wrote in 1982, spoken in 2017 over an abandoned backing track from 2012 called "Donkey belly dance".
I also added a guitar part, in 2017, on a Yamaha SG2000s which I bought in 2006, which was last re-strung in 2016 and played with a plectrum I bought in 2002
The image is of a book of lyrics that I compiled in 1984 on an exercise book that I stole from Derek's book shop earlier that year (I got away with it as i always did , sorry Derek), The image was taken on a camera that I bought in 2003 and uploaded in 2017 to a computer that i bought some years ago.

I was aware of this track in the mid 70's, my brother had the album "Tago Mago" by a group called "Can". and he let me listen to it with several conditions attached to the borrowing, one of which was that he would torture and then kill me if there was any dust on the record when i returned it to him. Having returned the record to him I promptly ran away from home fearing imminent torture and death.
I never listened to "Can" again until i bought my brothers immaculate vinyl collection from him in the early 2000.s. 
I immediately listened to this record again and left it out in the dust for a week and then put it away.
I listened to the album again recently and loved this track, particularly the bass riff, which is really quite fast, and i also liked the the general bonkersness and analog feel to the whole 18 minute track and the album too.
