Killed by mercenaries , and brought back as a trumpet player from 1833 , the artist formally known as 'Bob' , has a strange perspective on what is not considered noise pollution. When fellow Canadian Tim Williams heard that Vail was now playing trombone ,(as well as all the other instruments he's always fooling with);his response was said to have been: "Is there no BEGINNING to this man's talent"??? ( He can be heard playing some beat up old trombone found in studio on "Transgender Indian" from the latest 'Dick Twang' album). Also on numerous other recordings by various groups, such as the punk band from Ottawa called "The Randy Peters", some psuedo jazz types called;the Big Band Trio , ( There was six people in the trio , what is that , metric )? Bluse guise;Mark Hummel,Gary Preston,...Funkmeisters; Dr. Tongue-("Sunshine Jello")...Hi-lo tech: Sue Foley( Young girl blooz),...playing the stove;( Tony Wilson's 'Horse Dreams'),Hip trad boogie on new cd by Lorne Jones band called "the Tugs", ...A traditional country album put out this year by Edmonton Alberta artist 'Fran Sinclair';Jess Lee album "Born In The North", A new Black Dots c.d.playing piano, and some other stuff thats so lame it's driving him crazy. This showcase has him recording a set where he plays the role of the drummer on a gulf island. Also , there is a song he wrote and plays all the instruments,and sings. ( Oh , and he wrote all the words). Let's face it , he's now talking about himself in third person. ...The REAL story is that "Phooom " is just a sound. It was produced by some tribe of savages by stretching catgut sinew over a pigs rear and blowing very hard, which produced a magnificent sound. ("Phoom" ). Unfortuneatly , this was the only way this sound could be produced. (And now Nick is really going to kill me , as not only is he the genius on the sax here who makes this whole thing work , but he is also the teller of the legend being passed down). That , of course being ; "Phooom" . Oh yeah , & the paintings by a guy in Courtney,B.C.,name of 'Manuel'. -(Don't try to owe him money for his re-productions, as he will find you). Some songs on hear speak of much of Louis,(Stevenson).Yes ,the Gonzo chinese poet now lost somewhere in another dimension.(And Killer Joe was unintentional) .oops
