Hey there baby

I've found myself with some free time and some summer stories to
spin...the tapes of this show I have are some sweet daud 3's taped for
me by someone who I have unfortunately lost info for...please accept my
thanks if it was you who provided the music and my apology for not
keeping better track of things like that....

Ghost Story #24 8/9/97 Set 1 Alpine Valley
The Ghost of Stevie Ray Vaughn

This Ghost materializes out of a scratching close to what began as a
funkified Punch You in the Eye. The prologue is lyrically flawless as is
typical. The verse break is all mc neon cellgap moogaloo over the top of
a bland backbeat and some snapfunkatronica from Mike Geeeee. The Ghosts
are squealing and insistent. The ghost story is an immediate herr
necklace scratch walk into a ring my bell shuffle boogie. Around the
4;40 mark the boogie man is in the groove, a full frontal nudity
inducing technopornofunky groove that is. Around the 6:00 minute mark
the boogie man is doing the dinosaur mc neon cellgap is probing the
hypothalmus of everyone within a 100 mile radius of the stage...like
tiny fingers with sharp nails poking poking poking poking over and
over...this is abduction soundtrack music here...olaphian abduction that
is...The probe is removed around 7:47 the pace changes the groove builds
in a new direction....soaring....becoming dissonant.....almost
repetitive...the horns start to sound...flutes oboes dissonance
resounds..by the 11;00 minute mark the ghost is very dead....morphing
slowly on the heels of a wah wah over tinkling ivory's into a very very
very dead ghost by 12:45 I am certain I am hearing the segue from any
Uncle John's>Playing>Uncle John's I've ever heard...woodwinds
abound...mellow delicate...waves crashing against my brain stem...a box
of rain...the theme from taxi....the sweet sweet pipes of zamfir master
of the pan flute...the 15:00 minute mark begins a slow dissolution of
the pipes into that sweetest of tastes....the ghost of stevie ray
vaughn.....abducted too soon yet very very dead....

who you gonna call
