skeleton with layers ( music included)

[Joseph T]

well I got bumped off the list for a day too.  Drank Good Ethiopian  
Coffee after 3 weeks of no coffee, so couldn't sleep.

Thanks for adding  the additional additions to the original additions  
as regards to that mysterious phrase "Gravity's Rainbow".  How indeed  
our thoughts do wing, and some were over the rainbow, but now, alack,  
thou dost  to dust and thence to coal. Sorry I'll stop. But thanks  
Monte. The whole entropy  thing seems really big in Pynchon, as it  
does in the universe. Could kind of get you down. But who has not  
tasted rainbow time and felt natural.

Which brings me to one of the weirdest and most cheerful musical  
bands I could add to the list of Pynchonian music.
The Incredible String Band
This is what Geili Tripping listens to .
Their masterpiece is a 2 album performance play score of   
surrealistic Celtic ,Persian,Euro- Indian, Cowboy, Greek music on  
harps, sitar, flutes, fiddles etc. called  U.

One of my favorite songs on this album is the wonderfully long  
rainbow song.

Terry Riley (early experimental tape looper along with Reich,Glass)  
did a nifty album called  A Rainbow in Curved Air.

I also like Kermit the Frog's rainbow song and recommend it highly if  
you missed it . Asking the right questions is half the battle.

Good night and may we all live to soon behold  the Falling of Rove  
from on High and  the satisfying plop of that not so nice red frog on  
the  cobbles of a bridge  leading away from this not so nice century.

To sleep perchance to dream.
