i stumbled across this.....
quote: |
Penitence
by Berger Roy Al
A monastery somewhere in the Italian Alps: Ives, a 60-year-old monk, sadly gathered his belongings. Sworn to a vow of silence, he was overheard in his room singing "I've Got Rhythm" during prayer time. He was quickly excomunicated.
The old Monk thought back on his life. He remembered his first childhood conversation with a local priest.
"Is God all-loving?" he asked the priest. The large man looked knowingly at the small boy and closed his eyes for a minute to think. Soon he fell asleep. Ives stayed with the man for three days and three nights til he finally woke again.
"Well?, asked the 8-year-old Ives.
"What was the question again? said the priest. "And while you're over there, could you hand me that icon?"
The old monk thought back on all the happy times he had spent at the monastery; the way the other monks had stood up for him the time he was caught snuggling a baked ham during evening mass.
He thought of his best friend, Father Gelardo, whose hobby was to mime the words "I'll catch you later" and then walk off grinning.
All this remembrance made the old monk nostalgic and he hoped for another chance. He ascended the steps to the balcony where the abbot was meditating.
"Father, I know I have sinned but I beg you for one more chance. Please, just one more chance!!"
The abbot, full of compassion and understanding, smiled kindly at the old man and pushed him off the balcony.
The point of this story escapes me.
Next weel:
...Herschel regarded the mannequin carefully. If he moved too fast a life would be lost, and he knew it... |
seems awfully coherent....

Mental disease could be a progressive thing as well and this may have been written long ago when el Bergermeister was more coherent. And if his writings have degenerated from this to the level of his current posts just imagine how his playing may have changes from Outdoor Elvis to the mythical Swirling Eddies. Maybe the delay is not so much Camarillo being busy with a side-gig but perhaps Camarillo is taking to blame while the band attempts to pour pot after pot of black coffee into Berger in an attempt to bring to reality enough to play.

Is Berger the Syd Barrett of the Swirling Eddies?
At least Berger should still be alive and kickin' for awhile.
