Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after my swim with Troubadour by Dorothy Carter, released on Celeste in 1976.

Stephen M. Deusner wrote for Pitchfork:

Dorothy Carter was in her early 40s when she recorded her largely instrumental, entirely entrancing album Troubadour. Although the 1976 release was her debut album, she had already lived many, many lives by then and enjoyed a storied career. An artist attracted to obscure, often unwieldy instruments, she studied music at Bard College and the Royal Academy of Arts, but it was a foregone conclusion that she would chafe at the rigidity of academia. She busked all over the world in search of new sounds and new inspirations, even spending a year at a convent in Mexico where she is said to have experienced epiphanic spiritual visions...

I felt loopy today, so I checked my instruments before FAWM begins.They seem OK and almost in tune. Now I can go and wash my hair :)

Happy FAWM to all who take part and all the best to folks in Germany who go to the annual demonstrations for Democracy, Humanity and against RightExtremism in next days!

#FAWM - It's that time of the year again when I feel like a 6 year old who can't decide what toys to take with him to the beach. And who takes them all...
