banned in boston

Well, it is a first. I''ve been banned from a BBS. It was from this site: http://www.vidiars.com/x-static/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44 and I posted a response. It seems that the paranoid, delusional ravings of Mr. Helm not only are manifested in his prose, but in his administrative duties. He edited my post (which he labeled as "ad hominem"), then upon my reply, erased that reply and banned me from the site. Well, good riddance. For background, you can read this site:http://www.osxaudio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5614&start=0

more on keeping up

Well, a move to a different weblog system. We are now running Movable Type, whereas the previous blog was pMachine. It looks a bit different since I haven''t been able to tweak it yet. This stems out of a work project where we need industrial strength weblog serving for a variety of projects and initiatives. This is a small scale test to see what works and what doesn''t. Manilla is the 3rd player in the test. Exciting, huh? Welcome to my world...

end of an era

Well, a musical era ended Wednesday night. The last KTQ open jam night at McReds. I've been playing there almost every week for going on three years, most of the time as the "house" bassist with Kaz, although since my hiatus in August I've been showing up only occasionally to sit in. Luckily the last night was well attended, and a festive affair. And three drum kits on stage! Almost all of the usual suspects were there, and I sat in on guitar, doing three tunes with Cosmo on guitar also, Vic on bass, and Masa on drums. We did the standard fare including Hootchie Cootchie Man (Vic singing), Movin' On (?), and an especially rousing version of Voodoo Chile, the fast funk attack with yours truly doing vocals. And some playing-guitar-with-teeth and behind the back on the final solo. A fitting way to send McReds off into the night. For those that don't know, Wallgreens bought the block up and will be demolishing the whole area, including Chris & Pitts BBQ resturant.
