BIRDSONG & RADIO:
Birdsong underscores the early mist, I smile, a gift.
Two radios for the mood of an early head, click, listen
to the tone, the poetry of the morning news & choose.
Most days 5Live is my station of choice, the upbeat
rhythm of the voice, informed, personal, like street
voice rhythms. I like the hiss of the AM wrapped around
them, reminding me of good times in the car with Dad.
The FM sounds like a funeral, bad news obsession,
direct injection into the rhythm of a nation, it makes
me afraid. I listen to the FM for a beat, turn it off
till later when the groove is inviting, turn on the AM
& feel the spirit rise.

Just listening to Cut Clouds again, it really is remarkable Karl, can’t wait to hear the album.
AM….you’re too funny…the way you express the experience I want to go turn it on..it was ’68 …Foxey Lady… I heard Jimi for the first time with my mom….on AM. ..in a ’68 Mustang….still cool.
