There was some kind of peaceful collaboration going on
between Ann-Margret’s Swedish Mafia and Dom DeLuise’s Italian mob. It took up a
whole dream but the details are fuzzy. Maybe the Swedish mobsters were teaching
the Italian mobsters how to whack trees or maybe the two criminal organizations
were merging Swedish practical and Italian innovative furniture design into
chairs that are both crazy and functional, with the motto, “Sit on it or else!”

I sent an
email to my friend Brian Haddon to let him know about my gig on June 3rd.
He got back to me a little later to tell me that a music project he’d been
working on for the last few years was finally done and that he’d published it
on Sound Cloud. It’s all instrumental and mostly classical with a bit of
Country, Blues and even Japanese influences: https://soundcloud.com/user-32236949
Here are my impressions of the Brian Haddon pieces: The first two are very rural and the premier one could easily be a song with lyrics. It feels like the opening theme of a homecoming film in which the protagonist has hitched a ride in a pickup truck that is rolling over rolling hills on the way back to the family farm where of course someone close has died of cancer. In the second composition the hero or heroine is either in the attic going through a trunk full of memories or is wandering the property that is about to be sold to big French fry. The next three creations are fugues. I always liked the word “fugue” because it sounds like what is happening on a higher level between the Hatfields and the McCoys while at the same time they are fudin. There is a Japanese feel to the third piece, which evokes the image of someone riding a bicycle over cherry blossoms. The fourth one is very bluesy and suggests that the homecomer has gone into town to drown his or her sorrows in the local bar and is walking home drunk with a dog. The finale has a military or sailory feel to it as the protagonist is staggering home drunk he or she runs into a militia that decides to militate militiaing and joins our hero or heroine against a fallen log with several shared bottles. As the sun sets the opening theme repeats as the closing credits roll down.
