Well, sort of ....
Hey,
Here’s a very good cover of a Steely Dan song called “Fire in the Hole” from the Dan’s first album called Can’t Buy a Thrill.
This guy knows how to play, I wish I could.

Did MJ’s father get around, or what? (Or am I the only person who sees a resemblance).

Sorry Voice, I have never met MJ’s father

No indeed Hung. My thought was, maybe this guitarist’s mother has. š

Yes, I’ve never met MJ either but at Unleashed his photo did remind me of Steve Martin š

You mean … you think Mrs Martin met him as well?!

Is it cross-dressing? Who walks Milo, really?
It is alright. These are questions that the mystery of makes life perfect at The Pig’s. š

‘Who walks Milo?’
It’s more like whom does Milo take for a walk, he does not worry about if you are cross, or dressed.

Please enjoy the small snippet I have found of the playing of the very musician who made the announcement regarding the gum leaf player’s allegedly stellar performance … a violinist of great skill.

I think Mike will not mind if he calls by The Pig’s to find I have propped him here with Hung’s piece and the guitar player.
Hung, thank you for the Steely Dan piece. What is this ‘I wish’? Is it not sufficient drive? Is it a sense of not having the talent? Not having the opportunity? Is it modest embrace of a lesser place to flatter the guitar player and his rendition of ‘Fire in the Hole’? Is it wistfully pathetic to encourage love in those who wish to protect you on ground zero basis you cannot play the guitar, yet many have died? I put my hand up. I am sad that you wish. What can be done?

sandshoe, I used to play at a very high level however these days I cannot spend the time to practice enough to get back to where I was.
You will be pleased to know that another blogger on this site, astyages, and I jam fairly regularly. I’m playing bass and asty plays the guitar

Yeah, but I bet he can’t play the Zorba!
Reminded me of the session that Vasilis (of “Vasilis’ Garden” on Melb. Community Ch31) did with an aboriginal gum leaf blower (technical term?). Vasilis played the squeeze box while the gum leaf man blew on the gum leaf, the whole of Zorba!
Hilarious but brilliant!

I think ‘player’ is the technical term that will communicate better in that first reference what is intended, H, that the leaf is a musical instrument. Given the existence of the hand-held device that emits a stream of air and directioned by an operator at fallen leaves, clears them from paths for collection and compost.
Tee hee! Surely a gardener’s leaf blower heralds autumn?
Would you reckon on it? One of the most musical, brave things I have heard and seen was a jam band accompanied by a gum leaf blower. The performance was announced the first known of a jazz piece played on a gum leaf. And funny. I suppose because it is unexpected and as well turns our understanding of musical delight topsy turvy. Such a sweet sound.

O, my eye transposed names. I referred to the patron who posted reference to the gum leaf blower by the name of ‘H’.
Forgive me, I am a supplicant, H and Atomou, Atomou and H.

Now that’s the most gaelicised version of Zorba I’ve ever heard.
It got my legs all twisted and tangles and my ears dancing to the rhythm of my eyeball’s twirling!
Needed four ouzos after that little exercise!
Thanks, Sandshoesand; and worry thyself not about name transpositions. I do it on a very regular basis. Keeps the little piggies thinking they’re drunk. Lots of fun when that happens.
