In reply to mirandaga. Love that song. It gets good coverage in Sound Effect Infinity. I love your analysis. Much sharper than anything Lincoln Koufax was thinking about.

I’m bound to get some flak for this, but for me the perfect song has always been “Desperado”–by the Eagles, not Linda Ronstadt (even though, like all men of my generation, I was in love with Linda Ronstadt!). From the simple but unforgettable piano intro, ending with that wonderful low G note, to the combination of internal rhymes and seemingly organic lyrics, the song doesn’t miss a beat. Literally.

“I’ve walked like an Egyptian, moonwalked, walked
this way, walked on the wild side,
walked on sunshine, walked the line, and walked 500 miles.
I’ve walked a lot…”
Hahahoho, in response to your perfect song

[…] Besides Notes on the Golden Country, my science fiction Sound Effect Infinity is finally coming out early this spring [Note from the Future: The link above is now live…finally]. It was supposed to arrive in bookstores everywhere (on- and off-line) just before Thanksgiving 2023. They’ve changed the release date several times now. My fingers are crossed for March 25, 2024. The Story Plant is going through some big changes that should all be for the best soon. In the meantime you can read an excerpt from Sound Effect Infinity here: […]

In reply to Dianne Horgan.

Hey back Cuz. Glad you put in an order. You are the person who slapped that first link to good music onto my forehead–Elton John’s Your Song album, Crosby, Still & Nash, Cat Stevens…maybe a year or two later Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush. I was off and running! Discovered good old KCOU and heard Steely Dan for the first time. You pointed me towards KOPN. We still don’t understand the magic of music. It’s likely different for everyone (because no two people have the same brain structure and nerve system). I think a lot about how music is inside us and outside as well and that sound is an invisible river floating through the world connecting almost everything in life on a level we may well never truly understand. And to think that is all a gift from my older cousin! Thank you for teaching me to pay attention to more than words…

In reply to Susan Mancino.

Hi Sue! I need to post a new shot of them geetars…my early birthday present was a Gibson ES-335…deep purple finish to go with the cover of Sound Effect Infinity. Amps are simple enough for a bedroom jammer: my old Peavey C70 (nearly 40 years old now); a litle baby Fender Mustang25 modeling amp; and a 5 amp re-issue of the ’68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb tube amp. What I want someday is a vintage ’65 Twin Reverb, but I couldn’t carry that up to our 3rd floor. Kind of funny how “someday” changes when you can almost see the bottom of the hill?
