to fulfill a promise
Re: to fulfill a promise
Ah, makes sense on a motorcycle
Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.

I've always been a big Leo Kotte fan (so I picked up on your nick right away). I saw him play 2 or 3 times, even tried to play some of his simpler stuff back when I used to play the guitar a lot. And John Fahey's stuff, too--like these:

Fahey very good, Kottke better. Since the first time I saw Leo play in the 70's, I have seen him 20+ times and will likely see him again in Oct.octathlon wrote:I've always been a big Leo Kotte fan (so I picked up on your nick right away).

The last time I saw Leo play was about three years ago at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne. I took my daughter with me who was in first year university at the time. An amazing performance! I've seen him about 4-5 times since 1983. He is one performer I would travel back to Melbourne to see, esp. as it is highly unlikely he would come to Tasmania to play.
Enjoy the concert, Tilt!

Greetings and salutations, Tilt.
I've just noticed your new avatar...has the stress of Dhamma Wheel moderating suddenly turned you into a Hindu ?

Nothing like that. I thought it would be nice to say - for a while - that my avatar is the only one here that is an avatar.Aloka wrote:.

Well, taking into consideration the fact that previous avatars were cute jackals, I'd guess it was the fox !

Really cool of you to share this, tilt. Thanks.
