BILLY'S MASONIC TAVERN an open source improvised music recording project www.myspace.com/billysmasonictavern WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE TAVERN. An "open source improvised sound recording project" is a good place to start, but it doesn't really say it all. Everyone who came out was welcome to come up on stage and make some noise. There was always a wide variety of instruments to choose from and people were encouraged to play instruments they'd never played before, chant, tell jokes and make up songs off the 'top of their heads.' These sessions were recorded and digitally archived for posterity and beyond . . . Persons who've passed thru have described the experience as: conceptual art, a noise band, a jam band, an initiation, group therapy, vibrational medicine, stream of consciousness sound poetry, a bunch of guys just hanging out and 'going off,' fifth-dimensional physical/psychological healing technology, primal scream therapy, a modern day 'Rites of Eleusis,' philanthropic anarchism, pure genius and utter crap. Words cannot describe the Tavern. No matter how much I say or how many of the recordings you listen to, you will still only be experiencing a very small part of what BMT was/is in truth.
