Glenn Branca

I went to Glen Branca's Symphony #13 (Hallucination City) for 100 Guitars with Dave Fontana, Tory Lowitz his girlfriend Nikki and his friend Chris. It was the most amazing thing I've ever heard. 20 bass players 80 guitar players and one drummer and a conductor. At times it was nearly frightening, turning Disney Hall into a dark Mass scene and at other times I had to laugh out loud with pure joy. It almost never sounded like electric guitars, an army of huge pianos sometimes, at others times horns, strings, or a jet engine with harmonic structure. Awesome. Thanks for the ticket Tory and Chris!

Didn't bring doughnuts

I'd been bringing doughnuts to work on fridays for a few weeks now, But I didn't today. Gotta eat less doughnuts. Amy signed us up as a family with the YMCA. I'll be pumpin' some heavy pig-iron soon. No, probably not. Maybe the stairmaster or something, should be interesting, I've never exercised in a gym environment before.
I got to play some bass at Three Eyed Fish jam tonight, in addition to the usual lap steel, that was fun. I don't get to play enough bass these days. I hope Ken is feeling better.

It's not how fast you play, it's how fast you listen.
