thinking about recorded sound

in truth
i am of a temperament which prefers
the sound of live vibration
over the accessibility of
mass recordings

but then i heard
almostly harmless
a trio of folk wizards

unabashed high class music
on a recording

so i've been able to get little done
since all of a sudden hearing how
good it sounds

in my next installment
i shall include a place to go
to get the hot sound

if a recording grabs you
and makes you very aware
of the music conveyed
be it the "exact" sound of
the space or an approximation thereof

and though i know i was
the guitarist on most of the tunes
i also know i shall never duplicate the moment
let alone the chops

ah well

chop it up and call it coleslaw

keep on swingin
