siddhartha
one of my very favourite recordings of all the ages
I hope my daughter will hear these songs when she is 16 or around the age i was given this cassette by tim dewit in kalamazoo michigan circa. 1995 and i hope she can listen with the same sense of innocence and magic that i did that summer..a beautiful document of home and field recordings recorded in grand rapids michigan washington d.c. and portland oregon, streets sounds, resonant piano, beautifully delivered minuscule guitar parts ringing huge and true in the church halls of an old beat up four track capturing the summer perfectly for me anyway, forever.
nathan maddox/ we listened to this tape incessantly.
tim went on to play drums for cranium, gang gang dance and stints with white magic and neil michael hagerty to name a few.
a cryptic and magical journey, i feel almost protective of this cassette like a favourite hat or a song your grandpa sang you about fishing down a crawdad hole.
I hope you can hold it as close to your heart as i do mine.
great blog, it's not the same herman Hesse of teppenwolf ? Iwould like to listen this ?
