K8's sched. suddenly changed, and our old dog walker is out of commission, so it looks like I'm working from home this week while we sort that out. But there are worse fates than watching the kittens play!

  10:09am Peter K.:

For the record, the Bill Evans album you mentioned, “Conversations With Myself” — on which he actually overdubbed himself twice — was recorded eight years after that Lennie Tristano album. Tristano presumably inspired Evans to do what he did, but it took the inspiration a while to take hold.
Avatar ♥ 10:10am Joe McG:

Thanks for the info, steveo! @Mike W.: She sings it beautifully. I mean, it takes a lot of courage to take on Anne Briggs, in my view. She does well! @Peter: I like the Bill Evans record more, but it's cool that Tristano had this inspirational idea!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

BillEvans 'Convo with Myself' famous for exposition of him as Composer utilizing multi-tracking. All in his head like Brian Wilson... Clapton in Cream would do two tracks of bitchen wailing - but Hendrix would genuinely construct things...

Cadillac was founded in 1902, so it's possible he was sitting in one.

I was confused by Michael Murphy when I was a kid because my friend's older brother was named Michael Murphy.

I was also confused by George Wallace because one of my teachers was Mrs Wallace.

Interesting Fact: The Stranglers' Dave Greenfield was a musical perfectionist and could be awkward in social situations; observations consistent with his diagnosis, never made public during his lifetime, as a very high-functioning autistic.
