The Unique Art Of Hart by Dick Metcalf

5/5/2018

As the first entry in the new EC Legacy Blog I am presenting this article that appeared in Issue Six of Electronic Cottage, July 1991. You can find 48 of Bret Hart's albums at his Bandcamp site, including two of the albums mentioned in Dick Metcalf's article, Mount Rushmore and Rather Than. - HM

This interview was published LONG before I had had any direct interactions with Bret (or Zzaj the reviewer). I did not even remember that it was published in EC so long ago. Bret fits the mold of "one-of-a-kind" quite completely, he's a very generous host (he and his family graciously put up with me for several days back in 2006), and he has produced a wide variety of intriguing recordings over the course of many years.

It's interesting to read Zzaj's interview too; he's chronicled the music of thousands through his Improvijazzation, and this is the oldest review I've read.

Thanks Hal, for reviving this.

Charles, it was a pleasure having you here for the NC leg of your trip. We made some cool videos and recordings (some with Scotty Irving), and you were an enjoyment. Isn't Eden a strange town??
