BONUS TRACK: The 34 Points of Worry (from the BBC memo to Monty Python in the later days of the series run)

about

Another in a long line of experimental pieces that have fascinated Ehresman since he began writing and recording in the '80s.

He recalls: "This piece was inspired by hearing Michael Palin talk about a memo the BBC sent to Monty Python, near the end of their series run, about multiple “points of worry” regarding scripts for the next episodes...... And I think, when I listen back to this track, that maybe The Beatles’ 'Revolution #9' seeped out of my brain and had an influence here, too......I bought The White Album (the double LP) with my chore money in junior high school and, although I certainly wasn’t ready for “Revolution #9” then, I was just as drawn to it as I was scared of it......I remember listening to all the little parts and wondering how they did it. .......Early last year, I bought the re-issued White Album, which was the first time I’d listened to it in years......And so I’m sure that bubbled 'Revolution #9' back up from my lizard brain and closer to the surface, because I recorded 'The 34 Points of Worry' just a couple of months later."
