Playing You Like A Fiddle

The fiddle is a very hard instrument. A lot of people say this but they have no idea what they are talking about—which is why I can’t agree with them. The fiddle is a hard instrument but it is exactly what I need—as smoothly as I can bow.

If the records were landscapes, Simplify would be a valley. It may take longer to cross this territory, though it is familiar. As always, there will be people to meet and people to leave but these characters have been involved in my body for so long.

Depression

I’m sitting here at another one of these crossroads. It’s time for the Depression record and I suppose I am meeting it halfway. And when the snow clears I’ll go out and take Industrial Nowhere to the printers. It’s time that you see it and can hold it in your hands.

As for me, I’ve been holding the fiddle a lot lately, trying to saw out the first song. Its name is ‘Mind of Mary.” The record’s name will be “Simplify My Eye.”

Once again, thank you to those who are reading these and, once again, I will promise to keep you posted and fail to do so.
