asleep at the recording wheel: fragmentary evidence

Due to a usual lack of preparation, but less usual neglect of battery life, there is scant record of the november 2014 episode of the second sunday sipping sounds series, which is a shame, as dr. rachel drury kept the cascade of melody flowing until the the end. the following clip is the only bit of evidence, from near the very start, comprised mostly of the folk tune the irish washerwoman, which was used more than once that evening.

playing the other nine eleven

the williwaw vicennial continues with another episode of the second sunday sipping sound series at the old hairdo on the ninth of november, starting at six pm. there'll be sounds galore, and visual fodder to match. and a special guest or two to guide things merrily along. could you spend a matinee better? perhaps, but, oh, how hard pressed you'd be to do so. why not relax, sip, listen and watch the night unfold with us? oh, do!

random sound cavalcade #46

here's a wee lo-fi-but-loving sampling of some sipping sounds from the 12th of january episode. in this scene, our comrade williwaw actively awaits the return of jamie bolland and rachel drury to the non-stage for a second set of subsequent trio action. in other words, this is intermission music. the footage is a bit of tomfoolery involving fred astaire and a faulty bicycle. behold, a broken chain melody.

full disclosure: this was all cobbled all-too-hastily together to mark the forty-sixth journey 'round the sun of craig abell-champion.

random sound cavalcade #45 : an everlasting summer place

look at we three, sandra dee... the merrily rolling progression of max steiner's theme from a summer place as performed on the 10th of january, 2014, by our comrade williwaw and his stalwart crew, jamie bolland (keys/birdsongs) and rachel drury (alto saxamaphone) at the old hairdressers (as part of the second sunday sipping sounds series). a horribly lo-fi recording of twentysome minutes of trimonious sounds. yes, trimonious.

the sax-a-ma-phone episode of sipping sounds

back in the salad days of amp'd uke mayhem, williwaw would often find a brassy woodwind foil in jeffrey collins, a fellow graduate student of the School of Morrow Plots, now living in southwest Missouri. despite having too much respect for the clarinet of richard stoltzman, jeffrey could take the tritest chart given and kick it in 'n' out 'n' beyond the infinite... just a wee reminisce to mark the return of the sweet sound of the sax-a-ma-phone into the usual amp'd antics: the next second sunday sipping sounds series episode will feature the dulcet tones of rachel drury, composer of neonatal operas and fire breather. get in on it!
