I haven't been here in (what feels like) forever.  I know I am like 7 or 8 Jack entries behind - I have a bunch of handwritten, scribbly notes in my car to prove it.  So much has happened in the past couple of weeks.  I haven't had the time nor energy to update here.

Nevertheless, the highlight since my last update was definitely this:

So I made it to the Tori Amos and Ben Folds concert. A half an hour late. But still made it. Saw Ben Folds... but only for a half an hour.

I think I can remember the first time I heard Maynard Ferguson -- yeah, it was his rendition of "Sesame Street." I remember sitting there, in my high school's band room, mouth agape, trying to figure out how in the hell someone could play THAT note on trumpet, THAT loud! Obviously, intrigued, I downloaded a bunch of Maynard songs off of Napster ( ( Read more... )
