storytelling without words: 3

kazoo-blogheader
I like storytelling – and if I have no words: then my kazoo and my guitar try to support me. I hope, we threesome could help you to relax?

    Dear Frizz, I enjoyed your musical storytelling! Your highlights of Gypsy music brings back a lot of aesthetic memories for me…one is the long silver ball necklace I have not gotten over. I still wear different styles of it. The other is the displacement I felt listening to the music growing up in Hawaii. My Dad loves Django Reinhardt…he got sold on gypsy style music introduced to him by his GI buddies when stationed in Frankfurt in the late 1950s. I grew up listening to records of the music…wrapping myself in long silver ball necklaces. It was always strange to listen to the music with palm trees and sandy beaches outside…maybe unconsciously I needed to set this genre thing straight by moving to New York. Yesterday in my conversation with my Dad, I told him why I belong here instead of Hawaii…after all, you can’t introduce something to a kid and think it will slide off like milk…it’s forming?

    • I’m very impressed by your story, dear Allyson, describing the influence of music – and your father! The influences of Hawaii and Frankfurt, Paris and New York. I’m myself surprised that my own influences on my two daughters are less philosophy or photography, psychology or anthropology – it’s music: especially my 3 grandchildren force me to play guitar whenever they can catch me – and then they dance, dance, dance …
      P.S.:
      this would be a good topic in my book FRAGMENTS & FEEDBACKS
      http://www.blurb.com/b/4348236-fragments-and-feedbacks-2013-05-29
      Still I have no chapter about music influences everyone has in a lifetime, your comment, Allyson (and my feedback maybe) should make a start in the planned JUNE edition …

        Hi Frizz, your subjects for your forthcoming book are exciting! Whatever comments I make on other people’s blogs I consider to be their copyright. I try to correct my grammar as much as I can. Sometimes, though, I am on WordPress too late that I miss my mistakes.

  7. I was listening to this earlier and liked it. Didn’t click it was another of your posts till just now. Love the old style jazzy guitar and kazoo works, which isn’t something you can always say with kazoos. 🙂 Nice work!
