Le Blues Club's First Jam Session
Yesterday Blaise and I headed over to Bonny B. Browns recently opened blues club for a first evening of open stage jamming.
If you have a warped mind like mine and that makes you imagine musicians climbing over, biting and bashing each other with their instruments for a place on the stage and holding their ground, playing as long as possible…

Bones Solo & discussion (pitch change, triplets)
I had somewhat figured out that you could change the pitch of the bones because now that I have 2 similar pairs of bones I was intrigued at how hard it was to get the same pitch from both hands. My left hand always sounds higher regardless of which bones I’m using. LOL

He didn’t look too happy about going off and “serving” the country and it makes you wonder since there are now ways of avoiding it if you really want to…

Friday Night Bar Crawl
A truly amazing thing has happened this month: public spaces all became non smoking overnight! I was sure that this area would continue to let folks smoke everywhere until the end of time, just two years ago a local restaurant manager was booed out of her job for just thinking such a thing…
But with the help of lovely spring weather there we where Dave and I, in a corner cafe that was packed both in and outside enjoying a glass of wine…
