Manafonistas

Among the bunny bunch of recently covered and anticipated songs is „You“ by the group Ten Sharp, which I always liked listening to, remembering those radiodays at the construction sites. Found it as exhilarating as Bruce Hornsby’s „The Way It Is“ or Anastacia’s „Sick and Tired“. Luckily there is an overdub function on my little recorder which makes it easy to do a quick take and saves me from rheumatic symtoms while diving for hours into music, cable-tangling and technical overloaded issues: frozen bones in an advanced age. This fact offers another point of identification with detective Harry Ambrose, who tried to catch a Nietzsche-influenced criminal, permanently hobbling with sciatic problems through the third season of the fantastic and dark series The Sinner. Further on it reminds me of philosopher Dietmar Kamper, who once wrote that stumbling is the most appropriate way to move for man and mankind. So here we are, cheeky stumbling into fingerpicking again, just for fun and fit for „You“.

the loss of light in less sleep, feeding minutes

after rain‘s landing, counting sheep vanishing with

the half-serious question for the bakery‘s opening,

and a song from Liege & Lief , low in the ear, a reliable,

not so reliable call for dreaming the highlands,

last notes hanging, painting clouds, simple twists.
