Good looking out man!

Prothet! Thanks for the long-assed entry on my journal. I like it.

You added somethign that I also hadn't thought about: the musicians who feels compelled to overplay because he's a bit intimidated by the talent surrounding him. So, instead of being solid with what he can do, he overcompensates and shows the world what he CAN'T do.

I've been there.

And as you also mentioned, there are those musicians who just agree and go along, but they've got very clear opinions that they won't share.

A friend of mine was in way over his head, playing bass on a jazz gig. It pained me to see him struggling like he was. The worst part was these 2 musicians were in the audience and laughing at him, and I knew that after the set they'd go up and tell him, "Great job man. You sound good."

Afterward, I felt obligated to give him sincere critique. He seemed to appreciate that. But, ya' know, another aspect of all of this is "are people receptive to the truth?" But even if he wasn't receptive, maybe 6 months later he'd remember it and take it seriously.

This wasn't even an issue of note selection, dymanics, or the like. The problem was in finding a way to provide a consistent bottom pulse while fumbling through weird chord changes that were happening avery 2 beats.

Any way ...

Live shows. WOW!!!
My absolute favorite live show, to date, is Victor Wooten's. He's a true entertainer. He GIVES to his audience. It's like he's the host of a big party.

Les Claypool's show is fun. He'll do a bad impersonation of Elvis ... anything might happen. He has an awareness and respect for his audience. He's fun to watch. He leaves the stage and lets his percussionists go crazy.

Me'Shell NdegeOcello? N-E-V-E-R will I go to another one of her shows. Great music. But I'd rather stay home and listen to her CDs. I went to her show last year and it felt like the audience was a bunch of folks that she had to tolerate.

Buckethead? The only concert I've walked out of. Guitar shredding from the first moment. Guitar shredding 35 minutes later, as I was walking toward the exit.

NdegeOcello was aloof. Buckethead was simply overwhelming. A little horseradish is great, but a horseradish sandwich just burns and makes my eyes water.



I've got a journal that I keep my notes in. It's ideas for the next time Iget some say in putting on a live show. It's got to be a party.

Man... that sucks. I'll have to see if there's something in my code that's effin' things up. Send me a link to your myspace and I'll add you

Songs unfinished for a year... this is why I don't put them away. I have to finish them. I've found that if I give myself a deadline then I'll actually finish a song. Right down to mastering it even. Well, what I call mastering. I have T-Racks so mostly I just call up a preset I like and then push the out-put of the limiter a little harder and... TADAA! A mastered song with a pretty hot signal. I aint no Bob Ludwig but what the hell.

Oh, sorry I wasn't there Sat; I thought I had some plans but err turned out to be not on.

at least there's interesting stuff to spend your money on there -- all we have here is booze and chain stores.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!

you going to sunday sermon?

Many years ago I had a tarantula. When it molted. DAMN! The first glimpse scared the hell out of me because I thought the old skin was my dead tarantula.

Hoboken is not weird?

i was down and depressed for abit, but now i am better. Sending some stuff in the mail, its just a matter f a ride now to the post office...i really hate my computer, nly 1% in my harddrive, weird

Any net-head who disses someone for being misanthropic or some similar label is a self- hater.

I'm sure you'll do fine " by any means nessecary."

Power to ya, bro,

P,S,- Chocolate & bacon was Homer's gift from god...
