I am very depressed lately actually, yes. But you just cheered me up.......I feel like I'm not alone, that you've been there (and others of course). I have so much to learn......thanks again!!

I was reading the book about the making of that album. PC was shutting his eyes to get into the new tunes but kept getting lost in the process. If you'd be into selling me a copy of that tape, PM me Mingus.

Yeah, they're all like "dude, that hasn't got any frets. How do you play it? Is it hard?"

And I'm all like, "Pfft."



That was very slab of me...

It was quite unnatural. I usually only smile when I'm playing.

Really, about the collarbone I mean? How does that affect plans for the upcoming TBDBNYCSummit? Shall we cancel the security plans in place?

If I may be so bold, I am currently being treated for with accupuncture and have experienced a great improvement in my wrist and forearm. I would recommend it heartily to anyone experiencing CTS.

P.S. It is virtually painless and very relaxing.

I forgot the most important part. My accupuncturist was a pro-bassist while he was in school. We actually talked about technique-related factors with regard to bass playing and he knew both sides of the issue, medical & musical.
