What would you do if you could stop time?

Nicholson Baker’s book. “Dodgy” but an “unleashing” engagement of the wanton molestation of women caught in time. Novel indeed!! Seriously, this book from the 90’s has been highly entertaining to me! That’s part of my new album/book title: “Zen y La Fermata.” Is there time? That’s gonna be addressed in my upcoming work. While I borrow from Nicholson Baker’s novel, only inspiring parts. Some parts are not right. I’m not borrowing those. His prose is entirely outside of time and touched by angels. I recommend his book (and mine when it’s released).

My new album and book are coming (no pun) lol Summer 2024.

Sofia. so lovely of her to record this for us.

I’m in awe of her talent and skill w her sweet manicured hands on that thing. Aren’t you? Makes my guitar playing look and sound like a jar harp. Actually, a jaw harp doesn’t qualify, it has no strings. How about simple? But I’m so inspired and to her, playing this on harp is simple. It’s called practice.

Look there’s a pedal of some sort. Look at her leg and travel down. Sustain maybe? This is a miraculous performance. Thank you Sofia. ♥️🙏🧒
