Love it! Sure hope I get to see you, or BOTH of you someday. Keep pushing those boundaries. Just amazing work.

Thanks, Kevin, I'm glad you liked it. That was kind of a special night.

Can't wait to hear it, Susan. I sincerely regret not being able to see you last night with Nels Cline, whom I've admired since he and his brother played with Julius Hemphill.

I'm so glad to be able to listen to your music. It truly inspires me.

Thanks, Mike, and you inspire me too (I can't wait for the release of your Monk album!). The Nels Cline gig was what it was.

Review of the performance in the New York City Jazz Record - Kansas? Roy Rogers? Trigger?

... and SETI!

I got Stormy Weather on the second cover. Close?

Susan Alcorn · Post by **Susan Alcorn** » 2 Sep 2016 6:39 am

SETI? That must have been from the metal plates in my head. I get signals from home sometimes - probably nothing important (usually just messages telling me to carry on preparing Earth for the invasion by destroying the precious pedal steel guitar music).

I think I may have been a little too obtuse pointing out the cover tunes.

The second one starts at 57:16 [corrected, 59:44]

And the third one starts at 1:02:44

Does that help?

Bill Sinclair · Post by **Bill Sinclair** » 2 Sep 2016 7:18 am

57:16 appears to be a tribute to your old stomping grounds
1:02:44 might be part of a Stephen Foster tune? Or the incidental music from "My Three Sons?"

I corrected the time for the second tune - it should have been 59:44.

Bill, you are absolutely correct on the first one.

The third tune was sort of a lament from a popular 1939 movie that I know you have seen.

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 2 Sep 2016 7:56 am

New York New York, but I still get 'Stormy Weather' in there which made sense, but my steel guitar literature isn't enough to encompass the last one. I don't think Ms Halverson knew it either.

Looks like it was a fun night.

1939 movie...?

"New York, New York" - it's hard to tell whether she got that quote. She was playing really outside, but she seemed to me to be following the form. But yes, that's possible.

1939 movie . . . "I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

Hello Suzan, we have discovered with great interest your duos !

Nickie has granted since the 6O's the third neck of his Multiharp in pantatonic ( for his little improvised sequence , influenced as a classical flutist by her great passion for Maurice Ravel and her works inspired by the gamelans of balinese music ( My Mother Oye ...).
It would seem that you also (?)

Hi Jacques,

Yes, my guitar is pretty much a C pentatonic (with an F thrown in); also I also love Ravel (and other French composers - Debussy, Satie, Boulez, early VarÃ¨se, and (my favorite) Messiaen. Sometimes I think about trying to work up Ravel's. Sometimes I think about working up Rave's "Pavanne", but that's a difficult one.

Comme j'ai Ã©crit sur votre blog, je suis une grande admiratrice de votre musique.

Merci beaucoup Suzan !
Je viens derniÃ¨rement de mettre sur notre blog la partition d'une de nos compositions qui pourrait Ã©ventuellement vous intÃ©resser... Nous l'avons jouÃ©e en live pendant longtemps dans notre spectacle " Relief et Musique ". Voici le lien:

Je vous en prie, Jacques et merci d'avoir pensÃ© Ã moi. J'ai cherchÃ© sur votre blog, mais je ne sais pas quel composition (c'est Clin d'oeil?). Est-ce qu'il ya un enregistrement de cette chanson? J'aimerais beaucoup l'Ã©couter.

Jacques Gabelout · Post by **Jacques Gabelout** » 26 Oct 2018 3:54 am

Alas no! ... It was originally written for flute and guitar in 4 parts, including the 3rd (slower), for pedal steel ... But as we were in duet and in "live", Nickie n had no time to go from the flute to the PSG during the projection of the photos in 3 D ... So she played the whole flute and if there were sometimes recordings in the course of shows, we n have never had a copy ...
Given the level of difficulty of the pace between the 2nd and 3rd part, Nickie no longer has the necessary technique to record now ...
We thought of you because you could have a solution with your excellent partner guitarist, duo or trio ... (?)
If so, we would be so honored that this "wink" would be dedicated ... Faithfully friendly Jacques and Nickie
