Karen Dalton, Roving Jewel

I lived in Seattle, it was summer and I was Housesitting for my high school English teacher, a man whose strange guy vocabulary lists had words like "onychomancy", or say the right affair with the sun on the nails. His house was full of books and windows, and slept in a bed with a high family dog ​​and cat.

When I heard Karen Dalton was the morning after a fire. It was an arsonist in Seattle this summer, and tonight my English teacher neighborhood was hit. Everything remains smells like, it felt like someone painted the inside of your nose.In front of the zoo, the monkeys were still screaming.

Karen Dalton was a folk singer and single mother of Enid, Oklahoma. In Chronicles, Dylan's autobiography, it is the only woman he boasts of having to play with, not only to see a porch with gold in her hair, get rid Whomp boots or something . He speaks to sing with her ​​- Straight No Chaser, as if she were a man.

Critics say that Karen's voice sounded like Billie Holiday - but if you said that to her face, she would tell you to go to hell - or a saxophone, because of how he snuck on the notes .The Village Voice.)

Karen had a turtleneck sweater favorite yellow, red and twelve string Gibson, and she played a 27 fret banjo someone'd carved from a bedpost. She had an enormous ego, an evil character, a reader. The apartments were still crawling ivy and there was always a pot of beans on the stove - warm and soft, Cherokee style.

Karen died in Manhattan, 1993. It was probably the fifties, and she has no teeth. No one knows if there was a funeral.

My English teacher has lived in Wallingford, two blocks and a few friends started a label called Light in the Attic. At the time, their catalog was charming hodgepodge: stuff they liked, people they knew. Reprints soul and funk, film music, Os Mutantes and the Free catalogs back design. New stuff from the Black Angels and the Knights on Saturday with zines or coloring books that the press releases. They did a seven-volume Jamaica to Toronto series of ska, rocksteady, and reggae from the '60s, which means those guys finally got paid, or paid a little more than not enough the first time.

That summer I’d would wake up and eat cereal and the dog would eat dogfood and I’d walk over to Light in the Attic, just to hang. Just to sit at an intern desk and eat chocolate eyeballs and ogle the distro. (Actually I probably only did that twice but it felt like all summer, and it was definitely the first time I loved people in a place I’d found on my own, and could walk to.
