Rainy Days and Days and Days

The rain is at my ankles and still falling, drip drip drip drip drip…
If it doesn’t stop, tomorrow it will reach my upper lip!

A Blog for Poems

I just made a blog to store and share the poems I’ve been writing. Here’s the link.

. . . and then check out these vids.

I’ve been listening to the Assad Brothers quite a bit lately. Many of their pieces sound unfamiliar to me but their technique and interplay is just jaw-dropping. This past weekend on our trip down to DC I brought along a few of their CDs to check out and heard a piece that I immediately recognized: Baiao Malandro by Egberto Gismonti. WBB readers will know that a few years ago I went through a massive Gismonti period. He is not only an amazing composer but also plays guitar unlike anyone else. However, I’ve only ever heard his Baiao Malandro performed by him in a small trio setting. Hearing the Assad Brothers perform the piece it seems to almost be written intentionally for two guitars.

So but anyway, here are a couple of youtube performances of the piece by the brothers. The first is the better of the two performances: it is less rushed and feels more like Gismonti’s version of the piece. The latter is a much better video recording of the piece and makes (at least for this guitarist) the clip more interesting to watch.
