Fort Thunder

Well, this is getting convoluted! I think we may be losing the Phrogplot here… but let me put
it another way, a way that spins positive: What an amazing find I just made! I was sorting
through my bushel of microcassettes when I happened upon the one that documented
CHEER-ACCIDENT’s first trip Out East with the Dylan/Jamie/Jeff/Thymme incarnation, which
was coincidentally the one tour that our friend, Phrogclock, tagged along on. The tour
went down in November of 2000, BEFORE he was confined to his Phrogclockbox 24-7,
so he was able to walk around and interact with the band… and that’s what we have here.
This “interaction” (which consists of four or so minutes of Phrogclock reading from
some random book he found at the space they’d all slept in/played at the night
before, along with six minutes or so of the band aimlessly wandering around
improvising at said space) took place at a rather infamous Bohemian spot in
Providence. More about Said Space:

So, yes. There’s some context for ya. It should also be noted (and this is starting
to sound like it belongs more in the Past Lives section) that the show from the
night before has the distinction of being the only time that CHEER-ACCIDENT
ever got stale bagels thrown at them.

08/20/14

Sandy Gordon dropped in at the end of 8/20/14’s practice

Mastered by Todd Rittmann

Note: This was recorded in June of 2014 as part of
an annual collaborative series by Chicago Film Archives,
which brings together local filmmakers and musicians/composers.
What can be heard here is a slight re-sequencing of
the music used in the film. All of the separate elements
and parts will most likely be reworked and developed
sometime in the future. For now, though, just imagine how
this would have sounded as it accompanied
some excellent archival footage, expertly
edited by Lori Felker. Special thanks to
Anne Wells for suggesting this pairing.

Reversible Eye #5

The fifth and final installment of Phrogclock’s
Reversible Eye emceeing on 10/14/11… It’s quite
a rousing end to the series, as he sings Happy
Birthday to a rather ambitious piano accompaniment
by a member of the audience.
