Haverstick) Haverstick here...a few words about Microstock 2...the Catler Bros played hard and innovative in their 49 tone just system...Jon Catler's guitar playing is a great antidote for the mostly dated sounds of such as John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, and the other fusionaires who continue to rehash their better days...the jazz/rock scene which spawned groups like Mahavishnu, Weather Report, and Return to Forever is dead as a doornail with the 12 tone system...Catler is a real innovator. The Haverstick boys did a diverse set of 19 qnd 34 tone music, covering jazz, reggae, country satire, and out there rock/ fusion. A small (about 40) but hearty bunch of folks saw some killer music, I'd say...the press certainly didn't cover it as well as last year, but the Rocky Mt. News writer (Marc Shulgold, God bless him) wrote a good piece on the Catlers. I'm already looking to next year... John Chalmers mentioned the gig in El Paso...I will be playing 34 tone acoustic, and solo 19 tone space music...call Sonya Wayne at 915-591-3105 for more info... and boy, this list is sort of dull lately...too much polite math talk...we need a good controversy to get things rolling...Hstick Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 16:41 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA10305; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 16:43:02 +0200 Received: from eartha.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA10345 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id HAA00661; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 07:42:59 -0700 Date: Wed, 23 Oct 1996 07:42:59 -0700 Message-Id: <961023104014_1314203587@emout16.mail.aol.com> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
