...music for the rest of my life. Writing, the music, my understanding of 'arrange' and 'produce' were gone. But I told myself that when I got good enough musically, it would come back. I knew that if I kept working on the music, not getting somebody else to play bass or anything for me, that if I somehow understood the music again the way I did in the beginning, when it was so personal, when I did it with my own two hands, I knew that somehow each of the motions would help release...

The pressure was so disorienting, he recalls, it was like "working down there on three martinis each." Five more years will...
...multitude of artifacts already examined are invaluable, not simply for their rarity but for what they will reveal about the seagoing life of the Mediterranean 34 centuries ago. Before the advent of marine archaeology, notes Bass, "we knew more about the safety pins and sewers of Athens than we did about the ships that made Athens great." The hull of this wreck, for example, tells much about shipbuilding techniques. Apparently the vessel was constructed by building the outer shell first, then adding ribs for reinforcement, the same method utilized 1,000 years later. Bass surmises that the wreck will disclose...
...bounty from what Dickens called the "awful, solemn, impenetrable blue" will bring light to an area of archaeology that has long been obscure. The age of the previous oldest hull was a thousand years younger than this one, and suggests that nautical technology in ancient times changed glacially. Says Bass: "These bones of the wreck push back our knowledge of Mediterranean shipbuilding by nearly a millennium." -By Richard Stengel. Reported by Jay Branegan/Washington
