Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Nonsuch”
Chapters00:00 - Strat part
02:20 - Firebird part
04:43 - Bass part
07:05 - Firebird part II (money shot)
Notes
Uncle Larry builds a loop part by part for one of his all time favorite Andy Partridge masterpieces that sadly nobody knows…
Give it a minute to develop friends
It’s kind of a slow burn
Two tracks of rhythm , a bass…and then the money shot
“Humble Daisy
Form a chain to hold all battleships in check
Humble Daisy
Knit a ladder down to nature's sunken wreck”
My favorite Andy quote….
“I like chords with a bit of dissonance and pungency, they’re not afraid to kick their legs out and let you know they’re alive”
and…i want to say a very special thank you to a guy named Joe Maggelet for being a totally honest upstanding human being

If you don't play chess, you are free to leave the class room for this particular video friends...
I know I know ….orange star means "develop pieces" , not "book move"..I know I said that wrong …please don’t hammer me
Sorry I ain’t been around much friends , been working a lot and in my free time trying to pull my chess game out of the gutter…hope everyone is fat and happy out there in Homeskoolin’ land
I’ll be back soon friends
In the meantime , just for one second let me bask in the glory of the that I FINALLY made a move that chess.com considered “brilliant” in a 10 minute game against a guy from Egypt
This is a big moment for a low rated player such as myself
