The Tragi-comedy of Love

Love is comic
Anarchic and anomic
Love is hilarious
So funny, so precarious
 
Love is tragic
Grotesque and anthropophagic
Love’s Grand Guignol
With a mad king and mad queen role
 
Angels laugh
When two lovers kiss 
And suddenly their hearts beat faster
Demons laugh
When the whole show turns to
Horror and to disaster
 
Is it catharsis?
Is that really what this farce is?
How can we know?
On with this tragic vaudeville show!

Music From a Time of Immaturity

 Archivist Phil Milstein sent me this fragment of a solo electric tuba performance. My guess is Chet's circa 1987.

Happy Birthday Johny! This is a big one!

I sincerely hope that my birthday wish for you is the same as your birthday wish and that it comes true.

Love on ya
