yin/yang for real

minutes after the roomie gave me permission to drive to Sunday’s gig, she was talking about throwing me out if “things didn’t change” by the end of summer…I was feeling pretty dammed good for a minute or so… I had pizza for dinner; expecting problems, if I go to bed too soon that is…should be […]

it’s good to be back

it was 7:30PM when I got off the Metro…I heard a friend of mine singing MAN ON THE MOON by REM…he was “busking”…without giving it much thought I let loose a vocal part–and found that my voice had indeed returned!!! The Metro station has GREAT acoustics…I then went to the O.M. with Lou and (eventually) […]

imagine that

this Sunday I turn 58…I should probably be grateful that I’ve lived this long, but I’m not–yet…It’s ultimately (mostly) MY FAULT that my Life has turned out the way it has…by which I mean NOT the way I hoped it would when I was younger…Regret is pointless, I know that…I try to BE HERE NOW; […]

on a silver platter

my friend SLR and I didn’t practice as scheduled because neither one of us feels good…*I* still have a slight cold; I hope I can sweat it out at work tomorrow…Of course that’s what I said on Saturday…She says my not having a car is the only/biggest hurdle to my getting in a rock and […]

or maybe not…

I wasn’t too concerned about doing “new” songs at the gig tonight, it had been so long since we last played there…but we did one anyway, which we’d never EVER played before no place, at any time…we did a country-fied version of I SAW HER STANDING THERE and it was an “8” on a scale […]

Joe Pass & Ella Fitzgerald – Duets in Hannover 1975

Classic Jazz Concert

perhaps the thrill IS gone

I’ve got a gig tonight…I probably should be more excited, but it’s a “tips only” gig…I THINK the band (MSR) gets free food, oh boy…The M in MSR is in another band and *I* think that’s where her Heart is these days…and I MIGHT be replacing the R in a different band because he doesn’t […]

the List just got longer…

It’s not good to dwell on our regrets…and if you‘re alive long enough, you’ll likely have at least one…I’m suspicious of anyone who says they have none…My latest one is discovering Facebook…Even if I don’t participate I can still periodically check it–this too is a bad idea, even though for some people it’s the only […]
