Subject: Backwoods Lowery for your listening pleasure

Backwoods Lowery The Lowery organ was a fixture for decades; in Morgantown, there's a music shop that specializes in them, but they're expensive. Nonetheless, I found an old Lowery Mini-Genie, which looks like a Casio plastic keyboard (61 keys), but was apparently made by JVC for Lowery fans in the early-80s who wanted something portable. Although early digital, it sounds like nothing else and I recorded extended lounging which will surely find its way into avatar videos. So here for your listening enjoyment, http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery2.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery6.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery7.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery8.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery10.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/lowery11.mp3 which are all based on one or another closely-watched rhythm or timbre, somewhat similar, modulated for the most part in overly-strict time signatures developed for easy early-80s listening.
