Keavin- after listening to that I had to have a cigarette and then went for a beer and cold pizza.  Whew! 


My wife commented that the vocalist seemed to really be enjoying themselves.   


Stan was definatly getting greasy on that one.

Pauldo, that was cool.  I also like Robert Plant's cover of the Los Lobos tune, Angel Dance.

Rob, Plant with Zepplin is absolute classic.  But honestly I absolutely love what he is doing now.  I saw some of the Band of Joy before -  brilliant! 

The Band of Joy stuff is nice; thanks Rob and Paul!

I saw Bela Fleck and Victor Wooten last night, fun show.  I was just poking around the web and found this, Victor is quite a person!

Spent the night of my 61st birthday with colleagues from the UMN and Armenian State Pedagogical
University in Yerevan Armenia. Beautiful city and beautiful people. This weekend saw music scores from the 3rd Century B.C. at the museum of antiquities. Very impressive.

Saw an Armenian band Saturday night that I'll post as soon as I figure how to get it off my phone.

Happy Birthday, Brian! Sounds like a great adventure. If you happen to see some interesting Armenian typography and want to snap a photo or two for me I wouldn't mind

Happy birthday Brian!

Happy (belated) Birthday Brian.

Enjoyed Vic's Commencement Rob. Yes, he's quite an interesting guy. Read his book "The Music Lesson" sometime. It's an abstract, but a really cool philosophical look at learning to play music.

Thanks, Greg.  I'm actually reading Victor's book now, just a couple more chapters to go.  I like the way he relates music to life processes and decision making.  Pretty cool, and makes you think!

I just watched Victor's "talk" at Rubenstien - best use of 24:30 of my day.  And now I can carry that message with me through the day.  Thanks Rob!

Still in Yerevan until early Saturday but still unable to download music video from my phone to computer so I can post.  Mica asked me to send her any interesting typology I ran across while in the Armenia which has a unique alphabet that's been around for centuries.  I've seen a lot of interesting stuff but this is what caught my eye.

Bill mentioned the Second Movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.  is a powerful performance of that piece.

Wow.  Thanks for posting that.  I'm floored by that performance.
