last night there
was a buzz
in the air.
you could not
escape it, it
was as if
it were your
breath. inside you
and so necessary.
palpable the cliche
would say, probably.
the buzz was
about june star.
it was june
star. emanating grandly
from the speakers...
tickling every cochlea
in a fifty
foot radius. shocker.
timmy noodled while
i emoted. sweetness.
the buzz grew
louder until we
were all intoxicated
by its rhythmic
simplicity.
while singing about
love, two things
occurred to me.
1. why call
it a humbucker
when the hum
was not bucked.
in any form.
2. why is
it that dimmer
switches produce a
sixty cycle hum?

1. Of course it was! You were probably plugging it in with a cheap cable. Still, it would have been humming even more with single coils.
2. Because AC power is delivered at 60Hz in this country and cheap little dimmers work by just turning the power on and off really fast...it makes the lights dim, but it creates harmonics (some of which are audible).
Now quit daydreaming and pay attention to the song!
wow... thanks for the into... by the way... I was using a monster cable...
grimm :)
So does that mean the lights need to be either turned on or completely turned off in order for Tim to noodle on people's cochlea without any distractions?
