Exploring the Afterlife with Dante in Inferno...

BEFORE ME NOTHING BUT ETERNAL THINGS WERE MADE,
AND I ENDURE ETERNALLY.
ABANDON ALL HOPE, YOU WHO ENTER HERE.

Inferno, Canto I




Caiphas in Inferno


Arachne in Purgatory



Ed el mi disse: «Volgiti! Che fai?
Vedi là Farinata che s'è dritto:
da la cintola in sù tutto 'l vedrai».

But he told me: "Turn round! What are you doing?
That's Farinata who has risen there-
you will see all of him from the waist up."

Inferno. Canto x.











The many people and their ghastly wounds
did so intoxicate my eyes
that I was moved to linger there and weep.
But Virgil said: 'What are you staring at?
Why is your gaze so fixed upon the depths
that hold those mournful, mutilated shades?
'You have not done so at the other pits.
In case you plan to count the sinners one by one,
think: this hollow circles twenty-two miles round.

Inferno, Canto XXIX

Here's the deal, some musicians have chops but don't say anything. Some musicians say a lot without a ton of chops (like Monk). Pat Metheny is guitar player who says a lot, and hell yeah, he has chops.

Morris!

Had to get myself on the same page as Jimi and Miles someway!

Duane Allman. Power and Passion.
