#2652: The Bushy-Wushy Rag
New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Phillip K. Bimstein uses an organic approach to digital samples, building pieces around stories told through speech, sound effects, and a singular musical wit. We’ll hear works about cows that roam and moo next to Bimstein's home, sin and salvation in Las Vegas, and about baseball. Listen to a special favorite, which focuses on the charming beer vendor Robert Logan, who calls himself "Bushy Wushy the Beer Man." For more than forty years, Bushy Wushy sold beer in Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. In "The Bushy-Wushy Rag," Bimstein fuses music, voices (including Jack Buck's call of a famous home run by Ozzie Smith) and sounds to create a musical narrative that celebrates baseball in St. Louis. "That's a winner!"
