05-17-09 Hey: Main thought that prompted me to do this letter was my urge to 'qualify' some tone-of-commentary I had written about in last letter of description of my week's vacation down in Sonoma-Marin counties CA. It must be understood (?) that the musical experience that I so thoroughly enjoyed down there could only have happened with those particular friends and songs; whose material I had so completely memorized in my mind for life that it allowed the expanse-of-freedom to just boogie with each & every song, as if I didn't have a care in the world besides performing, ecstatically, exuberantly, wildly (seeming), & riské ; with such complete abandon as might actually appear to be somewhat scary to the uninitiated. I, of course, am so thoroughly used to this beast & its management that this latent wild man ever-lurking in my bones, frantic for release, shouldn't be any cause for you to feel alarm in introducing me other strangers, musicians, performers, and would-be performing types that we may encounter in future. So, what I guess I'm trying to get at here is an urge I have to assure you that, if and or when you are faced with having to present me to any of your music-making buddies, you needn't worry lest I embarrass you. As I would suppose any serious performing type would agree with my statement of my belief that it is only when one has completely committed a work or piece of music to memory that one's performance(s) can truly shine toward one's maximum potential for the zone to occur; and this precludes the beast from ever being let out among strangers. ¶ I hope that we may find time for more 'social' intercourse this next time I go there. Would love, in the capacity of a casual observer and innocent bystander, get to see the studio, the band; either in a practice or at a gig, makes no difference. I am so starved for entertainment that my desire overwhelms (most of) my unwillingnesses to have to endure the ton of stuff I dislike & disagree with as to the make up & blending abilities of a band, or lack thereof. ¶ Would you like some tomato starts? I am beset with 26 and with too little of secure garden spaces to plant them. Ask Franny if she'd accept a few too. I've got the sprouts all potted in ½ gallon pots; could transport a dozen, gladly, if so requested. My 'mission' to go over there is the Open House @ Horizon Herbs' place in Williams on Saturday May 30. This family's sphere-of-interest intrigues my sense of the profound. Rico has been literally around the world bunches of times, collecting seeds to bring home to propagate and then market their seeds year after year. I am quite curious to get the visuals of his/ their: (wife, daughter, son-in-law) layout and maybe glean more smarts about plant propagation and husbandry techniques, etc. Curious enough to set myself up for to go and be and do. Should I come a day early, or not?
