Hello, I will be honest, kind of ran into a wall this month.
Spent tough stay in the float while finishing tour and the special by the time came to do the podcast this month, I had nothing left in the tank.
When guest composer Karima Walker sent me some initial pieces of score, I despaired.
They were so beautiful and gave ideas I couldn't adequately follow through on in the amount of time we had.
So we will do an incredible episode about local music stores next month and for this month, that's it.
Good night.
All right, sorry, the joke you got to get to sleep.
So I've got another idea.
Since I did the original sleep special, I've received a number of comments along the lines of I could listen to you read the menu pretty much anything.
So this month let's put that to the test.
In addition to the many tomato knick knacks I received on tour, I keep a lot of books and articles around in my basement.
I should probably get rid of them, but when my attention starts to wane while writing, I figure it's better to poke around some book than the Internet.
In a creative rut, I will occasionally turn to poetry, but more likely I am opening up the World Encyclopedia of Fruit to see where limes come from.
I turn to the citrus section and it says India.
Attempts were made to grow them in Mediterranean countries, but they proved insufficiently hardy.
They do very well in Egypt, however, where they are more plentiful than lemons.
Should I keep going?
It continues.
There are basically three types of Tahitian large limes with pale fine grained pulp and a very acidic flavor.
Mexican a smaller fruit with bright green skin and very aromatic flavor.
