Very inspiring. I have a whole new level of respect for Mr. Haden.

Great stuff for sure...I consider him to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest influence on my bass playing.
For those of you close by, he is going to be at David Gages in New York City doing a masterclass/discussion type thing on Fri, Jan 12 at 12:00p, and the Liberation Music Orchestra is going to be playing at IAJE the next day at 8:00p I believe. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up for one of them...
Pretty interesting read for the most part. Definitely gave me a little more insight into the man.
Thanks so much for this Zach. I share a lot of common ground with CH politically, so this was really inspirational stuff. Inspired my "maiden blog" on myspace. shameless plug
