"In a calm morning in March 1968, a shipment carrying the latest Korgs, Moogs and Hammond organs set off from Baltimore harbour, heading for an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro... A few months later, it finally reappeared. Somehow, the ship had been marooned on the São Nicolau island of Cabo Verde (now Cape Verde, but then a Portuguese territory 350 miles off the west coast of Africa)." —Huw Oliver via
"If we do not weep in the final moments of the drama we are either hard-hearted or obdurately Verdian."
"the archer’s arrow
blazes a trail in the sky
and disappears . . .
the way you let me go
before my song was done"
