General

So it's official with my new phone. I wussed out and got a Palm Pre instead of cancelling Sprint and getting the Iphone. The Pre however so far is really cool. It might not quite hang with the Iphone but it's up there.

It took me a week, but I moved all my data to Google. That means my life lives in the cloud now. The cloud is what geeks call that area where we have all our data and we don't quite know where it is, but it's there. If you use flikr for your photos then your photos are in the cloud.

Here's a link to Mike Pinto's workshop:

It will only be up for about 7 days:

I had a great time on Saturday at the 09 vibesworkshop held this past weekend. The instructors were top pros and educators all dedicated to the cause and that came through without a doubt. The technical display and theory information I took in as much as I could; it let me know right were I stand. The hi-lite for me was when Joe Locke critiqed my solo over blues changes. I was quite nervous and felt that emotion was coming through in my playing. However, Joe heard something different and I felt reassured by his comments.

I'm looking through some of these posts, looking at the replies, seeing the depth of some of these discussions and just flipping out.

Here we're talking about Musser models and there's all this feedback and then Gary chimes in with an in depth reply about the M-55 and the M-48. This is incredible!

I was just excited about all that and thought I would post my excitement.

I love science fiction and there was a show on last year called Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. This was an amazing tv show full of great characters, emotion, story, robots, and MUSIC. Like all good things, it got canceled.

so here is my version of the theme song!

Is there any interest from the pan players about coming up for the workshop. If so I'd come up and be part of the workshop.

Leave Any comments here.

Hey guys,

I'm a real believer of setting goals. They at least tell you if you're on track or off track. I think it's ok to be either of them, but the thing that's important is that you know whether you're on track or off track.

Hey guys its been a while since i've been on the site so I thought i'd post something I had that I DONT think I posted before on here....if I have...sorry for the double post!

But here is the standard tune "Three Little Words".....Enjoy!

hey all ....

my time to babble.. on and on

the last couple mouth of definately been a developmental life situation stage...whew

so much positive energy has gone toward our move to southern oregon.

AFter over two years of not playing at music. i have found myself both feet heavily ingrained in the rogue valley music scene. im currently playing keyboardist in " MONK."

I decided to try and set up a workshop in August here in Philly.

We'll have a bass player and drummer (at least 1 set, more depending on how many people sign up).

This is the unofficial notice! The dates will be August 15th and 16th. The workshop will be at the University of the Arts.

On the 14th I'm also playing at Chris' at night. So if anyone comes in early, come hang out.

More Details will be coming. Just wanted to put the unofficial word out. This will be an annual event, so as they grow we can get more pros in to hang with us.

The plan is.

Early Summer: Ireland
