theres this guitarist and he plays these open tunings man - and you know it removes all the need for formal technique. Just plays these sub atomic cadences and it sounds great when you're really chilled out.

And in a way I bet Irish music was like that before they got all tight assed and and the Catholic Church took over it. You can see it when they dance - you know jumping about, like Africans. And Davy Graham and Brian Jones himself went to Africa. Sympathy for the Devil, man!

If you go Morroco, you can still see these cats beating out rhythms on cardboard boxes, a bit like the Irish bodhrans. On an astral plane - it all related.

This festival sounds really cosmic.
