roberto creamero 10:02:46 AM
Can we talk about that spot, blues in the key of W? All info welcome. I have none, alas.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:04:15 AM
Looks like it's a Rahsaan Roland Kirk quote/recording. No idea beyond that
roberto creamero 10:10:40 AM
Gracias!
G Jax 10:40:29 AM
The key of W… Thelonious. The beauty of dissonance.
G Jax 10:41:22 AM
I was thought that was Thelonious. But I don't know for sure if that audio version of the quote is him.
G Jax 10:42:54 AM
I think that John Fahey stuff. You can tell he was an influence on Jimmy page although I don't think Jimmy page blatantly ripped him off like he did others.
G Jax 10:43:48 AM
What I meant to say was I love that John Fahey stuff. Like usual I'm talking to this thing and gets every other word wrong. I hate always having to make this disclaimer. Actually I hate making this disclaimer that I'm making this disclaimer again.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:45:46 AM
Weren't Fahey and Page listening to/ripping off the same old blues musicians?
G Jax 10:47:05 AM
Oh, for sure everybody rips off something but Jimmy page got super successful doing it John Fahey lived a life of poverty
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:22:59 AM
Really should have called this episode of the show "Cages of Canaries." Ah well
Matt Sabbath 11:50:18 AM
this is dope
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:56:25 AM
Yeah, that Nels Cline album is all kinds of fun
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:56:30 AM
Thanks for listening, y'all!
