At the moment, pt.3…

The phone keeps ringing. Please, stop ringing. Do I just answer? Ok, so I answer it, what do I say? Hello, hi, how’re ya? Ok, I’ll say that: Hello, hi, how’re ya. The voice on the other end sounds funny. I know this person. No, maybe I think I know this person, a female. Yes, yes, doing fine. No, I’ve not seen Frank. Wait a sec, I don’t know a Frank. D’you mean Francis? That Frank? Francis, you mean. I know him, yes, but I haven’t seen him. I heard he was in San Francisco, or was it San Luis Obispo? Doesn’t matter, haven’t seen him. Should I ask if she’s friends with Mackie the dealer? No, I don’t want to make light of that, I don’t want to say You’re friends with Mackie the dealer. I don’t want anyone to know I know Mackie the dealer. Mackie likes the cover, you see, always cooking-on things: Corvette Stingray/Corvette Sting Ray, got a house in City of Industry, one in 29 Palms, co-owns the Two Doughnuts on Main, likes Waits, smokes Virginia Slims, real odd if you ask me. No, no mention of Mackie. Sorry, I can’t help, about to leave town for a while, won’t be back for a while. Yep, going away, going to Mexico, going to Canada. B-bye. 

At the moment, pt. 2…

He was somewhere upstate-NY recording with so-and-so. Newburgh, or Beacon, we heard. Also, and we found this one out because of the ticket stubs, TB flew to Seattle, bussed to the Amtrak in Tacoma, and took the Cascade to Portland Union. The sessions? Well, who knows? I don’t think we’ll see anything until 2009.
