There was a semi-classical composer by the name of Moondog { Louis Hardin } that recorded 2 LP's for Colombia back in the 70's. Great stuff. Lots of jazz influences in his composing. Plus a record I heard called "Music from the end of the world" that included the Monkey Chant and Balinese Gamalian music. I also seem to want to pick up my Martin D-18 and play riffs off of James Brown and Prince records sometimes. Something in the funk gets lost however.A poem by Moondog said - "Machines were mice and men were lions once upon a time. But now that it's the opposite it's twice upon a time"
