Giving up the deadly drama of the new, for the convenient comfort of the old. Push Me; You Know You Want To As Frank Zappa might have said, “A real nice place to raise your kids up…” Push Me; You Know You Want To Once upon a time I wrote and produced music. Oh, I wasn’t all that good at it, but it paid pretty well over a number of years. This particular piece was the first, a test of sorts, a gift to my ex wife. It was our wedding processional, written note by note, humming each to a copyist because I couldn’t play any instrument save the pencil on desktop combination. It’s from a copy of a copy of a copy and better than 25 years old now so the quality is suspect, but I’m proud of it nevertheless; if only because in my wildest dreams I’d never thought myself talented enough to make music. I thank Bruce Bednarchuk, Gary Schulte, John Taddiken and Steve somethingorother, a brilliant horn player whose surname I can’t recall because I’m old and stupified, for providing the actual playing of the notes as a favor to me. Push Me; You Know You Want To This is a piece from one of the many novels I’ve never finished. It’s working title is The Ardoyne American. I’ve considered subtitling it “the making of a terrorist” but as I’ve not gotten past what one writer tells me is nothing more than backstory, I figure it doesn’t really deserve a subtitle. The script takes place quite near the beginning of the book, a flashback driven by a man’s son who reminds him of the fragility in being a child. It is the earliest chronicled part of his life, and a foundation for what follows. It is about 10 mn long and a fairly large file to download. Push Me; You Know You Want To or… Road Trip Cyclops Blues Be advised, there are a few common naughty words herein. Thousands less than I might use in conversation:) Push Me; You Know You Want To This is very long, about 35 minutes, and worth your time only if you’re interested in the human condition.
