In late September I received a telephone voicemail from my friend John Evans. He was calling because he had received my post card from Black Rock City/Burning Man – and wanted to say hello.
A note on my computer reminded me to call John the first weekend in October, but I never got the opportunity – John passed away that Friday, the 5th.
I relistened to that voicemail message he sent over and over – ending, as his messages always did, with the sweetest “ciao, ciao”.
Last night I recorded the message off my telephone, imported the “ciao, ciao” into my computer and with various audio software played with it, reshaping it into this one minute audio-montage.
I wish you had an address John, where I could mail this little bit of craziness, with love.
