Sorry for the ugly images...nothing one of those high octane martinis couldn't erase, I'm sure.

Thank you for the piano player recommendation, I'd love to hear him. Don't know about leaving Mehldau in the dust, he's probably my favorite musician right now and I think I listen to his records more than anything else these past few years. I'm open though and I'd love to hear other stuff. These days I've been so busy I have no time to go looking for new things.

Alan has been helping me out sending me songs via e-mail and the only way I'll find anything is if someone speaks up or hits me over the head with it.

I was in Manhattan last week and during my stay and driving around the city I heard a radio station there that played all this very cool electronica type stuff. I've never been much into that but upon hearing it as I drifted through the "deep chrome canyons" of the city I was very impressed by it. Left me in sort of a trance...wish I knew what station it was, or caught the name of one of the artists...I think I let my mind get too lost in the music and the scene...and an overwhelming sense of mourning.
