Left Munich at 8:35 p.m. on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late.
I was hired by Count Bachula to record his organ playing onto CD. He said something about his Edison Cylinders of his playing wearing out—that doesn’t make any sense at all! Edison Cylinders were obsolete about 100 years ago!
I tried to talk the Count into coming to the U.S. where it would be so much easier, but he couldn’t be persuaded. Something about Clipper Ships being too uncomfortable. (???) Instead, he did offer me a sufficiently large check which made it worth my while to travel to Castle Bachula. He said I’d only need a one way ticket—sorry, but a round-trip ticket up front was simply non-negotiable!
What an odd fellow! Or maybe like the typical musician—up all night, sleeps all day. And he’s sent me some rough recordings of his music. All of it sounds eerily familiar, but I just can’t quite place it.
Meanwhile, my trip to Castle Bachula has gone smoothly so far! His assistant E. Gore has joined me and that helps a lot. I asked him if he was related to Al Gore—he said he wasn’t sure, but didn’t think so.
