Hubby has left me to my #EvilDevices by going to #NYC to see #Broadway something or other. So, I made a #GreenChiliSlopper and a #Shaker of #PomegranateMartinis and put on #KMFDM #Nahil #JukeJointJezebel at #EarSplittingVolume. #FreedomIsGood #ArtAndMusicGiveMeHope https://youtu.be/OII_lAwmEjE?feature=shared
I'm expanding my musical arsenal lately, and with a bit of 3D design & printing I've converted a 20cm length of ABS pipe into a decent #percussion instrument, emulating some $80 shakers I've seen.
Used lentils for the internal shaky bits. Pretty happy with the sound. Might make a couple more with other sized items (beans?) for a diff frequency profile.
So excited @litstudies that these two books -- my monograph on #time about #US literature from #CharlesBrockdenBrown to #EdwardPJones and a volume on #time with #essays about #Shaker dancing, #DeLillo, #Faulkner, et al -- are coming out in paperback on 2.2.23. $28.99 each. Thank you #CambridgeUniversityPress.
