It converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) so it could power your footpedals.

I tuned in a little late because I was assisting someone. Did you already talk about this show being confined to the left channel at the moment?

WR:

The Mariel Roberts piece puzzles me. From her introduction it seems obvious that the source material of a cassette of her father playing piano is very meaningful to her. Listening I could hear nothing that would reveal the source is a recording of piano playing. Perhaps others could tell but it escaped me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm
david w:

She slowed it waaaay down so it becomes kind of a wash behind her,.

Nice finish.

Thanks Ridgewood Radio !
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm

Another excellent episode David W. I feel lucky that I could sit and listen during much of it. Though I couldn't restrain from various tangental internet readings that may have been a distraction equal to the usual work stuff.

doctorjazz:

Thanks, David and Ruth!

ruth:

Bye!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm
WR:

Yes, David, she made the recording of piano into an abstraction, greatly diminishing his physical presence (his fingers pressing the piano keys) against which she played.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm
Doug Schulkind:

Wonderful show, David (and Ruth).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm
Mx. Baba Bee (e/they):
