Freaking the unconcious

freaking the unconscious mind Category: Blogging
Well , I wrote a huge blog earlier in the week , but somehow erased it before it was loaded .( how pissed off was I )? Anyways , it was all about this tiny tour I did with Mellissa Devost & Tony Wilson & how when we did a show in Van., we stayed at a friend of Mellissa's who had a huge Pink Floyd collection of c.d.s. He also had one of those players you can load right up , so when we got back from our gig late that eve- (Cafe Rhyme, 1 audient;my friend Sam Myers); we loaded up the player with ALL the pink floyd c.d.s & let 'em go while we crashed out all over the place.
In the middle of the night , I woke up in a strange enviroment, wondering where I was & hearing sounds from "Ummagumma" (Several species of small furry creatures , I think ). It was totally wacked to hear that when my mind was open & didn't know what was going on. Then I remembered all kinds of teen-age experiences listening to my brothers records on Aspen Dr. & Bear Mtn. in Dawson Creek B.C.. (Thanks I.G., for having some really cool albums).
Anyhoo, in the blog I lost I also mentioned how I scored a bunch of music in mexico for cheap. One Mp3 disc I bought for 25 pesos , has like ten Pink Floyd ALBUMS on it. All kinds of early songs I've never heard , & of course , Ummagumma, Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Dark side of the moon. (There are some other new ones I don't know , but not the wall). So , I explained this whole sleeping to Pink Floyd exprience thing to by cabin mate Colin , who was keeping vampire hours & could only seem to crash out during daytime hours. We put this one disc on , & both were passed out by about 2 a.m.
I woke up briefly to the strains of "Adam's psychedelic breakfast" I think, & once again drifted off into a state of amorphic euphoria. Slept fantastic & had all kinds of brilliant thoughts & conjectures for days & days. It kind of help make up for some of the stupid stuff going on we've also had to deal with , Like firing our room sterward.
So I highly recommend trying this sleeping to the Floyd thing as an experiment ! Make sure that you have lots of the early albums , as they seem the best by far. (When I woke up about 10a.m. & the latest album was on -"Obscured by music"?; I wondered why the Rovers were on our stereo) !
So , I'm finally blogging up what happenned some time ago ,more recently , last night we had the saxaphone & trombonist sit in with our band for two sets. Colin has been writing charts for them like mad since we tried this four days ago, & its great ! Lots of Blues Brothers, Mowtown etc. After those two sets , the orch. drummer came & sat in so I played Trumpet. This cruise is a long one, three weeks ! Will be in S. America in a few days following Alcupulco !
