Musicians Project, a documentary

you gotta wonder. wondering's good ;)

leader ships

no doubt: planes are flying a lot higher than they used. i know i've mentioned it before but if you do it a lot, you really feel that. it's HIGH up there! serious. the air's all thin and really cold, y'know, birds don't even want to do that. i don't know im a land animal maybe, not some damn moon rocket experiment.

it's nice not to have all the knocking around and pockets of that hilarious word "turbulence". actually, "turbo lance" when things start flying but don't let me make you nervous. hmm.

ok enuff about too-high airplanes. back to me: what was i eating? kale in a little apple cider vinegar bath, really subtle, and a ginger-miso tofu steak (whatever, i like it) and short grain rice w homemade gomashio. in the key of d.

d because the song ive been working on putting down is in d. d because the song i have stuck in my head that someone else is working on is in d. on the violin that's d for "deserves". and because i was ruined early on violin as a youngun, i cant make my mind remember any other lineup but violin lineup: e,a,d,g. ask me what guitar string im playing and i have to convert, first to violin and then piano-and finally guitar. that's the order i learned em in but not properly so that's how i remember. move from first position fingering to third and everything changes again.

reminds me of this little breakfast place just outside the grand canyon, they had little place mats with the fret and strings of all kinds of instruments. kind of thing you take with you when you get the check; that, and matchbooks.
