[Kzyxtalk] The call of the swamp.

[Marco McClean]

Subject: The call of the swamp.

/“Where e’er I roam, my heart grows dank and cold, my face grows gray, 
when shadows fall and I hear the call of the swamps of home. I hear them 
calling me now, calling me back, calling me: Winifred! Winifred! 
Winifred! Winifred! Who do you think you are? Girl of the swamp, you’ve 
gone too far! Maid of the marshland, give up the struggle. Listen to the 
voice of the swamp: Gluggle uggle uggle!”/

Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2024-01-05) 7-hour-long 
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg 
(CA) and KNYO.org (and, for the first hour, also 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino):

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to worthwhile items I set aside for you 
while gathering the show together, such as:

The swamps of home.

Another condensed scenic rail go-kart project person's adventure, 
including killer desert bees, which I didn't even know deserts have. I 
remember tramping around in wet forest and finding out there are 
scorpions, which I'd thought were strictly desert creatures. It's not 
that scorpions are so dangerous, it's that they're disgusting, 
especially the oily squeeze-toy-plastic-like flesh-colored ones. They're 
the disgusting level of potato bugs, squared. Especially if you trip, 
put your arm through a rotted hollow log, and a bunch of them get on 
you. A bunch of scorpions is called a bed or a nest of them, and baby 
scorpions are called scorplings.

This magnificent thing! The organ-key switches are the grounded strings 
touching each one's dedicated segment of each fret, with the wiring all 
going up the center of the neck to the organ circuits stuffing the bell. 
Also the whole thing is still a regular guitar. Don’t bail at the ad for 
guitar lessons; the better part of the video is after that. Look for 
other videos by Samurai Guitar Guy.
