Hmm, another playdate, but sadly someone needs more exercise than a motorcycle provides. That's what bicycles are for. Of course I discovered a new tendonitis pain inducer (the road brakes on the Salsa), my knee doesn't really concur with the decision, and I'm out of shape. What else is new? tag:nostatic.com,2010:/blog//3.2878 2010-03-14T02:27:41Z 2010-03-15T16:28:34Z

No better cure for a long week than a long gig. In this case, a pared down lineup of guitar, bass and vocals doing the usual range of jazz standards to pop semi-standards. Why is it that we start at...

After 10 years of amplification stability, change rears its head. In with the new, now just need to do the out with the old part......

Wait, didn't we just do this? Five solid hours breaking story on Friday? Well, I scoff at those paltry hours. This time seven solid hours finishing the scenarios. Do I get overtime?...

So what do you do when you're stressed out of your gourd, work is crushing your soul, and you finally come to the realization that coffee needs to leave your life? You play music, silly. Comin' up!...

When is a gig not just another gig? I suppose when you're not worried about money but rather making music to try and make others happy. A quick "audition" of sorts for what amounts to a jazz collective/band that plays at local nursing and retirement homes. Mostly jazz standards with a mix of players with varying talent (though some *very* good). Maybe not a setlist that I would go out of my way to try and play, but for whatever reason I'm going to carve time out of my schedule to try and make some of these gigs. Hopefully someone will do the same for me at some point down the road... tag:nostatic.com,2010:/blog//3.2869 2010-03-07T07:28:05Z 2010-03-09T00:29:42Z

Wow, my ISP is really fubar. Evidently they were testing the fire equipment and some halon got let loose in the data center, frying a number of drives. So the main nostatic.com site is currently not up, and won't be for some time. By some miracle, the blog and mail/ftp server are on other machines so they still work. Maybe back up in a week. Maybe not. tag:nostatic.com,2010:/blog//3.2870 2010-03-06T04:30:40Z 2010-03-09T00:31:34Z
