Well done Brian for resurrecting the ghost of the long lost Captain. A great post. Not really sure what happened after that, as I all I see is random chatter with zero relevance. Did I miss a meeting ?

Blockquote3. Practice in front of a bush
Will practicing in front of a cactus work? Maybe it depends on what music.
Use a bush for folk and cactus for punk rock. maybe find a nice large redwood and set up a large Orchestra. The mighty redwood are deserving of such large full sound.

Canāt get rid of the impression he started a field test, how much he can spread confusion all over the world within 24h 
. And the joker 
sits on a comfortable arm chair and dies of laughter . And he made it even to NZā¦. . Iām sure, as soon as we stop commenting, heāll come out of the dark and shed some light on us

Haha, not sure if youāre referring to me or Mr. Van Vliet, but I agree that this stuff leaves me scratching my head and wondering what it all meansā¦
I bought Trout Mask Replica as a teenager (based on critical acclaim) and found it impossible to listen through. Like Zappa who he worked with, much of his work remains inaccessible to me, but some of it I love.
Iām giving TMR another spin as I type this and it doesnāt seem quite as strange anymore

Actually, I was referring to you . When I read your initial post first, I didnāt get the point or your intension. I then checked the time, too early for a drink too much, then temperatures on your wonderful isle. Comfortable 25 degrees, so it couldnāt be the heat eitherā¦
As you are known for thoughtful posts 
, my brain started to work and I came to the conclusion above.
(APART FROM ALMOST FALLING INTO A RABBIT HOLE, digged out by this whimsical Mr. Van Vliet and his misterious music.) On a positive side, I learned, that Iām simply to young to deal with such an enormous special stuff like Trout Mask Replica , on a serious side I realized, that obviously I missed a milestone of rock/experimental music history, given the fact that this album is considered as number 60 out of 500 on the Rolling Stoneās list of the best albums of all time. I wonāt go deeper into it, no fan of disharmonics or atonality.
But you still owe us the solution of yesterdayās post? What was your intesion???

I second that. Your intention, Brian, @brianlarsen cannot have been to have us all play our best tunes while trying to escape death by drowning - or to have us all putting on massive amounts of weight by eating large amounts of bread since any kind of bushes remain unresponsive to our music? 
For anyone who thinks it is necessary to be on topic in a post by Brian 
ā¦ I certainly was on topic a kind of with the first post because I always listen and therefore also play in the garden for the birds (2 days before this I was and can still be heard on video)
No one ever has to do that until the end of timeā¦unfortunately the mod Richard erased the evidence of the eternal get-out-of-jail-free ticket because there was too much chatter and there was also (not by Brian of course) nasty things were saidā¦ but under this post ~~~~
it was clear talking that it is never and often even better not to stick to those rules in this kind of topic ,ā¦
Ps: do you remember anything about that what you said there to me Brian ? 
So back of topic ā¦
We call it Rode Rotshaan ā¦ nothing weirds there 
Greetings

I agree, you were on topic addressing the birds And listening and or following the birds seems useful for music indeed. The video below might serve as a proof (song name translated to English = āTit manā )
