Original ultra contemporary interlude for harmonica, using my "C" Honer Blues Band Harmonica and NCH Wave Pad. The visual was touch-pad and MS Vista, a combo of Paint and Movie Maker (I nicknamed it "Monkey Maker"). It's all I had to work with. Picasso once said "When I run out of red, I use lipstick." Well, I JUST USE CODE, OLD BUDDIE! Yuck! Yuck!
So here is the art form. I guess we'll call it youtubeism. Or maybe tubism for short. Hurry up, it might be obsolete tomorrow. Too late! I can't get the YouTube uploader to work again!
So to do this without any equipment except this laptop, I increased the accuracy and slowed down the mouse speed and using my calloused index finger-tip, did the three works of art used in this video.
The music was recorded a couple of days ago on my Olympus digital in the flap of my right pocket of the kaki Eddy Bower shirt that was given to me when I was cleaning bathrooms in area double-zero at baggage claims at SeaTac airport in Seattle back in 2006. It is contemporary classical music, as usual played by ear since I can't read music (yet). It was also coming to you from the Bermuda Triangle, in a place where you can see (just look at the video "Impossible Dream - Harmonica by Paul") two of three paintings of the view from the bathroom window which I did in New York City and Oakland California forty years ago.
Hey, thanks, Greg!
Yeah. A little case of runaway brain there. Just heading a few hundred light years out into the extremes of the harmonica universe.
It was a bit of music I worked on back in 1963. I suppose in contemporary terms it's actually a bit old fashioned by now.
Thanks again, Greg! Ten after eleven by the Kent Stove.
