Tom fowler (bass)
Ruth underwood (vibes, marimba, percussion)

Evelyn, a modified dog
Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily
Draped across the piano, with some surprise

In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes

A curious breeze
A garlic breath
Which sounded like a snore
Somewhere near the steinway (or even from
within)
Had caused the doily fringe to waft & tremble
in the gloom

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone
Further modification
Pondered the significance of short-person
behavior
In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance
And other highly ambient domains...
