Guitars (story by Charles Bukowski; arranged / performed by H. Thrust) - Thrust-O-Logue by Howard Thrust

The one advantage of adding words to music is that it can give needed focus and immediacy to a work. That said, in this instance I don't really need to explain much in these introductory comments--save for the fact that I've been in both positions over the years (i.e. the overbearing guitarist AND the underappreciating listener).
I figured: Why not state both positions simultaneously in the same piece? The opportunity to express ironic parody was too good to pass up.
Thanks to the Bowie / Alomar duo for inspiration along musical lines, as well as the obvious honest madness of C. Bukowski for the story! I have to thank (the late) Joe Frank for the inspiration in helping me to conceive this whole thing to begin with. (He's got some classic postings right here on soundcloud!)
This work took some editing chops to pull off, as I was mixing and blending a number of different sections and sounds. It is truly a solo work. - Thrust
