my little radiant corner of the universe...
By: The Dudely Lama Date: December 29, 2019, 11:09 am
---------------------------------------------------------
just as things are starting to gather steam in the festival
arena... without the rest of the flying circus, just the gong
gig, im getting 3G for a weekend and theres no hesitation from
the venues, so im probably light on the price. dont get me
wrong, i love the festivals! even the bullshit that irritates
most, tickles me... naked dancing partying hippies are my
tribe. this year at one event, i was approached by 4 women
mid twenties to early thirties, all yoga instructors, stunningly
beautiful, completely naked and literally jumping with joy
anticipating setting up my dome with me... the dome has never
been so perfectly erected... i will say this much, sunrise
meditations each morning...morning dew on the grass. someday
i will have to tell you the story of the 5 hippies playing
singing bowls, floating in the creek under a full moon, deep in
the middle of nowhere... what was i saying? oh yeah... just
when its taking off... ive got three local venues wanting me
for weekend retreats... high end stuff... example... paige is
a very attractive mid 20s yoga instructor with her own
following. organized, focused, business and people skills...
the offer: an overnight retreat, one day, one night at a beach
house. 12 clients, 6 attendants... i will speak for 45 minutes
to an hour... whatever i feel is appropriate, and then a two
hour (ish) meditation followed by sharing experiences and
general social re-entry... water, tea, finger foods and
fruits... it will take under an hour for set up, complete, i am
required only to speak and play, all else will be provided for
me. its been made clear, i am to be well attended and will want
for nothing. what a simple gig! she asked my price and i said
500 will cover my expenses and she could come help me with the
organization of the flying circus. without hesitation she says
done, and done! oh? and did i mention im the only male on
property for the entire event?
next day i get a call from another yogi... niceville, ft walton
beach... two studios want... all local gigs and offering
workable wages...
i did mention im the only male on property for the entire
event?

yep! shes not jealous and i try not to give reason for her
to start... couple years back playing drums for a local rock
band... this lovely lass prances up on stage and makes it clear
that she is going to entertain the drummer... and her clothes
came off... it took a minute for security to do anything...
she was def attractive physically... two of my wifes friends
were going off... im not shy on stage... by any stretch...
my stage persona is kinda like my V alter ego... i was playing
it up... carla thought it was funny af...
boy he likes that!. yeah... hes a guy... guys tend to like
boobs... its a thing. are you going to let her....
hes letting her.... watch who he goes home with... if its
her, he wasnt mine to begin with... carla is one of the
most intelligent beings ive encountered on your planet... her
only flaw in judgement was choosing to fall in love with the
likes of me... she would argue this but i know her AND i know
me...

Makes perfect sense really. She's obviously a hell of a
woman...Probably realizes she is...Probably realizes that while
you're male, you also know a good thing when you see it and
aren't dum enuf to risk losing her.

hey, you guys are smart about guitard stuff... im making a
table for this guqin... its like an acoustic lap steel that
sits on a table... or your lap, but a table built to resonate
and amplify the instrument... its not really a performance type
instrument, its very zen, and right now, super fucking abstract
is being kind... think 7 string cello that you pluck, pick,
strum, (ive seen one bowed and im sure purists are still
cringing... meh, fuckem... ). and i figure i will drop in a
pickup, run it through a pedal board and into the
marshall/roland on one... not this one, the wife dropped serious
coin... but i may even run silk strings on this one and use it
somewhat traditionally as a personal meditation tool... there
is something to knowing the proper techniques to good
understanding before running amuck trying to find every possible
sound hiding in this ancient muse... but now im making this
table... ive purchased 15&3/4 glued shelving board from lowes
and im thinking i should just run with solid pine boards for
resonance? right now this thing is basically a box made out of
3/4 fir laminate. 52 long, 15.75 wide with solid, plank sides,
same wood as its supposed to add resonance over having 4 stick
legs that are non reflecting surfaces? the depth is shown as 4
inches and used to help brace... but again, this stuff is almost
16 so as long as legs fit under it, i can play a bit to try and
design some resonance into this thing... any idearrrrrs,
fellers?

I'm drawing a blank Jamie. I'd think pickup would have to be
wide enough. So maybe one off a pedal steel might get it done.
You know who you need to shout up on this? Freeman Keller over
at HC. He builds guitars. He built one for Dano.
