@Sem Chumbo: It could be worse, it could be Basque. At least Hungarian and Finnish are VERY distantly related to each other, and tentatively related to the distant northern Uralic indigenous peoples. Basque, has no know linguistic relations.

Yes, there have been all sorts of spurious and hopeful theories about Basque, but none ever added up to much.

Everyone is so used to Indo-European languages being linked to each other that it seems odd for a language to be alone. But it makes sense that some languages will remain isolated in an area taken over by another group of languages.

Hey Sem. Your penchant for berets and the extent you go to procure the authentic beret is well known. Here the old fellas just wear them any old way until the things fall apart.

You want Basque? You get Basque...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:18pm

Likewise, Stanley. I only took up finding a replacement beret when a jumble sale beauty went to pieces on me after 26 years of pretty well daily service. So much to learn about felted wool, eh?

He became a "baal te'shuva", that is sort of (not exactly) born again, grew a long beard, went mystical.

It would be interesting to know how his music fit into that and vice-versa.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:08pm
doctorjazz:

He was playing a very spiritual, mystical, Coltrane influenced version of Klezmer on clarinet at one point, grew out of his religious journey, or so I've read.

And, really intense, late Trane kind of sound.

Thanks!

I have some of his stuff, definitely the earlier stuff (but on vinyl), some cd's as well (but, can I find them is another question...). I'll look around for you David.

I got a job offer to do GIS for Facebook in NYC. It would pay 3x what I make now, but it would be like working for Evil Corp. in Mr. Robot. I love my current job, my dream job, but my wife wants me to take the FB job for two obvious reasons (pay and being back in NYC). I'm saying, no".

Tough call (actually doesn't sound like it's tough to you at all, NGH, sounds like you're in a good place, home relations can complicate stuff though) Good luck!

Thanks doctorjazz, I'm done w/ the corporate world. I have the freedom to create my own department from the ground up. The VP drove up 3 hours from the home office to see me (everyone else was on vacation) to ask me about GIS, and my visions of the future of creating a database and geoserver. All of my spending requests were granted. Like everyone else in my company, she was chill as fuck, so, I wasn't nervous through the 5 hour interaction. There's no way I'd trade agency for cash, I love what I'm doing now and what I'll be creating in the future. Fuck FB and their 6 digit salary (says the guy who recently went totally broke)

Omer Avital is a favorite of mine!

Who knows, NGH, if things pan out, may wind up doing as well as the FB gig. The stress differential could be worth it even if not.

(I literally had to borrow money from a friend for cab fare to get to LaGuardia to get to FL) Where were these offers (2nd in two weeks) when I needed them).

Omer Avital, new to me, don't know the background. Digdug.

This is a great album, seen Avital live a few times. Seems to be a descendant of Mingus musically.

Being able to set your own schedule, is worth $$$ unto itself. I've been asked to help curate an open-minded concert series that has international artists coming through this little burg, so, I think I'm staying put (plus, I need to record w/ my band!)

@doctorjazz, you're straight up correct about the stress.

New band, but I'll play w/ the olf one when I'm back in NYC, we're close friends.
