-reading my mail. I haven’t had a personal letter for months…except a few christmas cards
-answering the phone.It’s almost never for me. and if it is…it’s more often someone I don’t know than someone I do

Ike:
Fahey and Kottke are, by now, distiguishable. Fahey tends to play on his lap, uses his left hand less.but effectively.should we start a great debate?

Wow, your phone actually rings ?
That is so cool.

  • saying this, being an ignorant philistine and all, but I heard Leo Kottke for the first time on PHC a few weeks ago, and his rendition of “Eight Miles High” was incredible. I wish I had taped that show. I’m never going to be able to listen to the Byrds’ version again.

As long as this is going to develop into a Leo Kottke thread I’ll have to put in my two cents. The only other online forum I regularly participate in is the Kottke Newsgroup and we had a lengthy Fahey/Kottke discussion a while back. Some of us (myself included) rank Leo way ahead of Fahey. Others were more generous and rated them about the same. Since it was a Kottke group it was unlikely Leo would finish second.

I was beginning to think that something I shouldn’t bother with was trying to drum up some interest in Leo Kottke on this message board. This is the first time anyone (other than me, that I know of) has mentioned him.

Hmmm … think I’ll start a new thread just to see who’s heard of him.

…doing housework, the “invisible” stuff like washing walls or vacuuming upholstered furniture…they don’t notice, they still come home and wonder what I’ve done all day long.
