m.r's guitar page

these examples shouldn't be fussed about too much. they're fairly 'rough', well they were fairly rough to start with and now they've 'shrunk' so to speak into the ether, they're even more precarious and more or less MONO! just hit on the names to make 'em go. as sketches they'll do fine, give some idea of who and where. it does occur to me you might need something to while away the time with while you're listening...wallpaper's wallpaper! the question is, should it be the signed publicity shot or not! i may never make my mind up...

if you want more about these and others - mike@treefrogsmusic.co.uk

if you just gotta go... get back

THE GAME OF CHESS
from ezra pound's, where he has it -
"Red knights, brown bishops, bright queens,
Striking the board, falling in strong "L"s of colour"
the finding of his poem and this tune probably occured about the same time - if things dont always happen for ever!
more john renbourn filching i'm afraid

BRIDE STRIPPED BARE and CLOUD BODY are both related to 'the bride stripped bare by her bachelors even' or 'large glass' as it is known. http://www.understandingduchamp.com/ (if you go to '1923' and then section 4, you'll see it all in motion).
coming and going looking at names for these ('cause, it seems, things have to have names after a certain point in their evolution)
i found myself returning to this idea.actually leaning on the side making a cup of tea (again) and looking at the postcard (again) it all seemed to fit with the pumping motion and nebulosity inherent. dear oh dear...
