So, Jacque and others, Merlin gave me directions and I went to his house
and recorded the interview on my old tablet, set on a hassock in the
living room. There's a little noise, but that kind of adds to things.
There are these lovely chime clocks every once in awhile bonging out a
collective aimless tune together --kind of like at Juanita's house,
except these ones have real bells in them, not a chip-- and the rain
starts and stops on the roof. The refrigerator compressor clicks on and
off. Somewhere in the distance a dog barks. The sound quality changes
abruptly when I pick the recorder up and we move into the shop, a small
room, to examine the tools, including of course the wondrous antique
dentist's drill that he uses for fine work. You get to hear it whizz and
spark. And photographs. Photographs on the radio.
It's neat; we all know Merlin Tinker fixed sewing machines and other
machines for umpty-ump years, but most of what he talks about in the
interview is his previous life in early-and-mid-1960s computer
programming for various companies: airlines, railroads, American
Cyanamid, DuPont. And his ending-up-in-Northwest-Nowhere story is at the
same time your ordinary story and not your ordinary story. Also we find
out how his hand got that way.
I'll just play the whole thing for the first hour of my show on Friday,
and then if you miss that because 9pm is too late, even after daylight
saving time, the recording of the show will be up on my weblog, as
usual, by Saturday night, and you can get it there.
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio: Every Friday, 9pm to 4 or 5am on
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg, and 105.1fm KMEC-LP Ukiah. And also there
and anywhere else via <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://knyo.org">http://knyo.org</a> or <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kmecradio.org">http://kmecradio.org</a> and if
none of that works for you try <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://TuneIn.com">http://TuneIn.com</a> and look up KNYO-LP.
(TuneIn might play a loud thirty-second-long ad of their own for soda
pop or condoms or laxative beer or something before it passes you
through. Don't be frightened away.)
