Fossil Tuning and The World Cup On Saturday, we went to Louis Cifer on Danforth for the World Cup runners-up, Belgium, England. We were the only ones there. The sports bar sits around 200. We sat in the upper level, across from the great screen, the best seats in the house. This morning, back to Louis Cifer for the final. The place was sold out, but the hostess recognized us. We best seats in the house. The game was breath-taking! Louder cheers for Croatia but cheers for France as well. A penalty and handball, really? France won 4-2. Surprises at every turn. The New Yorker writes about France and the Triumph of Negative- Capability Football. Exactly! I thought of a Klein bottle. One of the high points of our stay! http://www.alansondheim.org/worldcup01.jpg BE http://www.alansondheim.org/worldcup25.jpg FC * http://www.alansondheim.org/outlook09.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/auto0.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/outlook08.jpg because the tuning is from the original tuning, strings slipping over 130 years, each displacement carrying with it the history of wood and weather, history of steel and what of the tension, temperature, what of the past playing when the instrument was new, what of the indwelling sound? *the reservationists had not yet arrived +++
