Vine Street Rumble from this weekend's Alumni Concert

I wasn't playing on this tune - was nice to stand and watch the music happen. The DVD is on the way - can't wait to get clips up from this. Enjoy.

Pics from the weekend

The EIU Jazz Alumni event over the weekend was pretty amazing. Alumni spanning the course of 35 years came together to play a concert. While I didn't get any pics of the concert, I did get a few shots from the rehearsal when I wasn't playing, as well as a few shots of friends from the table at dinner. Once audio clips are available, I'll post them up.

Upcoming Weekend at EIU

I'll be in attendance this Friday and Saturday for an EIU Jazz Alumni weekend. The weekend is to honor my teacher for his many years of teaching (servitude?) to the Music Department. An alumni jam session Friday night after a Percussion Concert. Also heard I was buying the first round of drinks after the session...could be good or bad depending on how many are there. Saturday is the alumni big band rehearsal. Should be amazing. Can't wait to see everyone who will be there. I hope to God that I can get some recordings of this. And just maybe, yours truly will not suck ass. I guess we'll see...

Pictures and any recordings will be posted here when they come.

What you have stumbled upon is the random brain activity that takes the form of a guy who does IT/computer work during the day and is a freelance trombonist in the evenings.

You may not understand the brevity of what you could be getting into in reading this blog. Do you really want to listen to the ramblings of someone who has to deal with people's computer/printer/internet problems all day? And everyone knows what they say about trombone players...

You may find the random thoughts venture toward cigar reviews, writing, music, anything and everything Apple, productivity (or the lack thereof), South Park...the list could go on. You've been warned...
