Abandoning Paradise: Going to See the Oracle

Going to See the Oracle is the latest for "Abandoning Paradise" and it makes no sense to retell the story but I can tell you there are pictures.

There will be a return visit to the Oracle as I'm on a Mission from God or Carlos Castaneda or somebody.


The medical came and went.  I get the result on Oct 9.


I fiddled with audio levels all along the audio path as this has been an endless frustration.  The volume level for any given thing can be modified in multiple places and each one is a point on what I call the signal path between the instrument and the amplifier.  There are four places where the volume for the guitar can be modified and that doesn't count the volume pedal or the volume switch on the guitar.  I'm much more satisfied the levels are good for all of them so it was a good thing not to do a live show as the time went to a good purpose.  Only clean sound can be loud sound.  Or, as Gene Stafford put it, "Cleanliness is next to haulin' ass."


Imam Abdul al Adhubidhubi tried to share a bowl of Arabian smoke with you but he did three or four takes and was too hammered (cough) bombed to continue.  There will be another try later but that may be difficult as light in here is very low.

Or

Plug in the stage lights and use a few of those.  Imam Abdul al Adhubidhubi the Stoner Hip Hop Pacifist Muslim ... with stage lights.  This is starting to sound compellingly twisted.
