"Dude, you are tall. . . wanna fight?" Actually, I didn't take anything as a slur. John's point is well taken however because Whiting has been LIVING music for what, 30 years? It is impossible to seperate his art and life. Creativity/originality comes from the re-combination of familiar events and Whites has a vast and deep pool of aural events to scoop from. He IS just playin his songs! <br /><br />I don't have any 3ts tapes but I do have this amazing Walkabouts jam when they went freestyle at the Ballard VFW hall. . . EGC opened, sans Whiting. . .I fell in love with Carla. . .Steven LaRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932068647330025855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988508118737060772.post-82209290981536465412007-01-31T22:18:00.000-08:002007-01-31T22:18:00.000-08:00Man, I so totally mean no slur on Whiting!

Wish he'd come out more...<br /><br />As for Foss, he's the one that said: "Whiting's just playin' his songs!" - not me!<br /><br />Hope you do the digitizing, I want to hear it...

As a fo...I'm sorry that this comment is so late. <br /><br />As a founding member of EGC, I'd like to say that Whiting Tennis can ad-lib, freestyle, improv, wonk, wank, and plain freak out when it comes to the microphone. The man thinks in poems. Rest assured he was cheating, if you think being prepared to improvise is cheating. Someday, when we get a new computer, I will digitize all the EGC sessions from the 90's off of the various Fostex and Teac devices that once used magnetic tape (if I recall). The greatest year of my life was spent Sunday nights with Whiting, Leighton, Mark Iverson, and a patient pool of drummers. Happy and jealous to see/hear the Art moving(no such thing as forward, mind you). <br /><br />Everyone give John Foss a big smooch for me. Seriously, wet smooches for John.Steven LaRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932068647330025855noreply@blogger.com
