The Salivating Ear

Intermittent, even within the bounds of occasionality. A dot on no map...

"What Did You Bring Me?"

Once in a while, the Ear would play something unimaginable, unthinkable, apocryphal. Was that James Brown, covering "Purple Haze?" The Parliaments, sitting in with the Sun Ra Arkestra? Might have been, must have been, the sound like no other. Yet any attempts to trace these sounds have failed. They don't exist, did only long enough for Sal to play them, once, on air. I called him once, and I asked him:

"Did you play...?"

He just mumbled, and laughed.

Apocrypha One

Apocrypha Two

Apocrypha Three

Apocrypha Four
