2 Chickens Left


I woke up at 4:30 am to the sound of squealing chickens. A trail of feathers down the walkway, out the gate, and onto the street. A coyote ate one of the big, brown teddy bear chickens last night.
We drank all 12 cups of coffee out of the coffee pot this morning. All the while listening to Pete Townshend's 1980 solo album 'Empty Glass'. An intriguing album.

I have been enjoying listening to major label, keyboard heavy recordings from the early 1980's, lately. Like Phil Collins. & The Miami Vice Soundtrack( featuring Glenn Frey, Chaka Khan, and Jan Hammer.) I like to turn my ear freshly to old sounds. The 80's stuff is tasteless, but compelling. The guitar is often pushed to the background, the synth is dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's, and then some demanding or forlorn saxophone is is forcing itself on the whole mess.
