MythTickle by Justin Thompson for April 14, 2010

Rock on! Orpheus.

Orpheus has updated his act! Got to stay away from those back-up singing girls, too!

And don’t look back!

I liked him better in his acoustic days, when he sat in with Mannheim Steamroller for a track on Fresh Aire VI.

Get your lyra on, dude.

(No, I’m not thinking of those songs by Chip Davis which actually evoked Orpheus’ trip to Hell and back. I’m thinking of the Bacchanalia for which Chip actually recreated a lyra tuned to a Greek mode.)

Stop SPAMMING! It tickles! Or did I just imagine it?

Nice axe.

Taking a long time to cross this river. And what happened to Charon’s wings?

Where’s Eurydice?

Dude! You can only go UP from here.

eurydice - guitar’s name, sort of like lucille

One of my favorite pieces of all time is the violin solo in Offenbach’s Orpheus - SOO sweet and romantic…

Hey Justin! Are you cuttin’ back to three strips a week?

I think Orpheus has had an Epiphany(Epiphone).

I don’t like why he is using Greek mythology this way… if you’re going to use something use it right!

That’s right man, what could he possibly be thinking! That’s like someone trying to display a zebra in rainbow colors or something. Let’s keep it real people. ;-)

Love ya Justin!
