After a long Summer break, the Cashbags are at it again.
This weekend we’ll be playing an outdoor show in Radebeul. Next week Friday we are headlining for the COUNTRY & WESTERN days in Borsdof, then a long trip out to Bocholt in Nordrhein-Westfallen on Saturday. Having learned my lesson, this time I’m bringing swimtrunks.

My gallery page is currently down. That is to say, only logged in users can view the pictures en large.
Having done some reading about this kind of thing, it appears that this bug occurred because I used ole’ Fantastico to handle the updates instead of doing it manually. So, I need to redo the update manually. I just have time for that crap right now. Or ever, really. So I’ll fix it when I fix it.

What a giggle it was to perform at Schaubudensommer! We even got groovy laminated backstage passes.
Ron made an audio recording of the show, but only starting after the first two songs. It’s badly clipped, but the magic of home studio technology made it somewhat listenable. Here’s Wasting Away, a crowd pleaser for some reason.

Gesualdo composed beautiful madrigals. He is also the perpetual outsider.
I’ll leave that to you to find out why, but here’s one of his pieces. Note his use of chromaticism (you can read along, look for the accidentals). Keep in mind that chromatic scales were relatively new in his time. Nobody — and I mean no-frickin-body — was writing like this in his time. It didn’t catch on for another 400 years. Stravinsky took pilgrimages to Gesualdo’s castle, and even erected a statue to him.
