It was July 28th, the last of Five years of wednesday performances at the district lounge. Many odd and interesting nights, so many different musicians and passer byes, spontaneous friends and moments of never see you agains, late night lock ins, wedding parties crash, authors, buissiness men,  a hooker who dropped her stash, leroy moor in the corner, I heard him clap, the jewish birthright came and in hebrew I let them rap, Andre rou orchestra took turns on the piano, sang christmas songs with an oboe player on my knee, and the strangers became fellows as the coffee became whiskey, there were, cellos, basses, drums, horns, pianos, guitars, vocalists, rappers, percussionists, poets, harmonicas, if the walls could sing... would sing just about anything. Was an intersection for anyone, artist, traveler, and our community. The last night was truly an honor as so many came that these wednesday nights were important to. I played for two and a half hours straight and when I was done, started to feel those five years as one big emotion. Will miss those days and now asking my guitar for guidance...

The college hired me and Steve Kin (bass and keys) to lay some tracks for the audio engineering class, we quickly put them to work.  We brought in; stand up bass, electric bass, acoustic, electric guitars, harmonica, had them set up a drum kit and mic up the grand piano, after all set the room looked like spaghetti with cables running all over the place. We decided to improvise over a basic instrumental form and melody I had been bringing out live.

A few hours later, each instrument played only once, we had something seemingly pretty good. They mixed it and sent it to us, and I love it. I have not named it yet so am open to suggestion. Now the professor will bring us in for the fall quarter class as the subject matter and we will create an album together. Class is in and I am the text book, don't just skip to the summeay and the final will be 100% your grade.
