The Skeleton In Alan Dershowitz's Closet: The Resurrection Of Sue Barlach, His First Wife Dershowitz's First Wife SUE BARLACH: Victim Of Tragic Domestic Abuse,

soldi means money in italian.

one day at the goldrush this cat made a connection . . . david soldi, interstellar on par with kenny vaughn renowned guitar soloist and studio genius. . . . . . and it was a treat to describe to david why he should like sigur ros . . .

i had seen him once before walking down church out of indinet/lucy's and had raved and chased him down over this fancy embroidered jacket.

discussed nudie suits, gram parsons, porter wagner, ernest tubb, greg garing . . . and things fashiony regarding music . . .

and told him of chatting up stefan dahlqvist of the 50 year resonance of flashy suits and stage presence and meticulous attention to . . . a visual effect . . . on the opry stage . . or in the seventies rhinestone-studded tradition . . . .

what i would give to see david soldi play again, hero of an unwritten novel . . . in pre-youtube days . . . all we had was him on the stage . . . or into the a.m. . . .

david soldi heads to nashville to record for a reuinting "govern" and will play drums bass and guitar.

no solos from an ethos in the nineties when

"fugazi was king and solos were taboo"

a possible cover of jesus and mary chain "gimme hell."

exiled to indiana . . .

david soldi was the mind behind "communist" of black label empire and "fun'niki" aka the brian kotzer band.

dreams of seeing him play again have been met with a pallish seven year hiatus . . .

he discussed learning drums from tracey coss, deceased "spider virus" legend . . .

david soldi used to work at the tower records on west end . . . tales of his broken pinky ducked taped together on tour with govern or the perfection of artichoke or life in chicago . . . of bad brains he hung with HR and was solicited to play with bobby bare jr.. and declined . . .

his ear crafting new late night music . . . and of all people now he says his hands shake when he plays guitar . . . a dove award . . .the christian grammy . . . to craft a melody for a gospel anthem . . .

grandson of cactus soldi, son of jim . . . feeling silly on stage like "look at me and what i can do with my hands" and the hereditary nature of it . . .

and the eternal mystery of piscean tonalities . . .

some documentary coming out about govern . . .

cash and and the bills glued to the hotel room wall . . .

guitar store in el cahon . . . and all our friends with children . . .

recs gogol bordello and loves the jarvis cocker . . . duane denison of cargo cult . . . einsturzende neubauten . . .

the birthday party my love and tales of sinatra's late night attendees, talking with him in the a.m. terrors . . .

and disgust at my musical dalliances . . .

OCD and packed smokes, numbers and counting, like the horrors "count in fives"

dead thrice

and teaching himself as a child with pa on tour . . .

and of ex-GF's that haunt shows to shake the joy out of you, but i reasoned, "she probably really just liked to see you play . . ."

beck and stereolab and melvins at exit/in and the white stripes for five dollars at the end . . . jolene and modest mouse in 2002 . . . the things . . . mr. bungle . . . and an intro to mike patton . . . when, i didn't even know why to be star-struck . . . .

hope he gets to check out the dead weather . . . the nationalization of the nashville sound . . . and as we talked during the wiltern show i felt guilty for missing it . . . . happy jack and allison are gracing los angeles with their presence e're so briefly . . .

of dungen tomorrow at troubadour?
glam and eliot wilcox of milkshake . . .

music history a part of music future . . .

everything i learned from david soldi that i forgot, and most glorious thing he said, was how i am one of the few people that can be in love in many ways, completely platonically, possibly . . .
