Hi David, ruth, Ridgewood society, I may be napping while listening..

All qued up and ready to go. Trying to decide if time for lunch or dinner or a nap sounds good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:56pm

Hi, chresti! The first hour not so sleepy, but some of the second hour is aural sedative.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:57pm

Hi guys

Nap away chresti. I find the porousness of sleep can often enhance one's musical experience.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:11pm

This is kind of dreamy, but Branca follows so don't sleep too close to the edge.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:15pm
WR:

Still can't decide what to do so listening and sipping tea.

Hank:

Quite a pairing !
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:18pm
david w:

Hello, Hank. Some of the new Randall-Myers album is also brutal, but I picked that one to sort of ease us in.
  5:19pm

I was at the debut of this piece. Great connection these 2 pieces IMHO

I learned synthesizer stuff on a Buchla at the University of Illinois (Urbana). I hope they kept that machine.

(Probably shouldn't respond if you're driving, NGH...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:01pm

Considering ngh use of the work censusing (getting counted) I imagine that is a head in repair.

@dr jazz: I still have a headache, but it’s much better. Eating normal again. I’ve had a lot of hostile residents today. People that would superficially for my demographic are more likely to be assholes, those that aren’t part of my demographic, tend to be kind. Census in FL!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:20pm
WR:

Talk about connected, you're playing something that won't be released for almost 2 months, you obviously have connections to these artists. But I guess we all knew that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm
david w:

hi, spodi from us all!

This Pavone work is so beautiful.

Note to self: don’t rub habanero sauce in your eyes while driving....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:22pm
david w:

@WR: sometimes the labels and their reps send DJs advance copies, and I thank them for that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:25pm
david w:

ngh deserves a vacation.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:28pm
listener james from westwood:

ngh: Nooooo! I had to remember not to handle jalapeños earlier this week with the hand I insert contacts with, but habaneros are orders of magnitude worse!!
  6:28pm
northguineahills:

The only musicians I ever found unpleasant in person were Jessica Pavone and David Licht. But, I love both of their work, nonetheless.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm
david w:

Now we learn. james wears contacts and ngh doesn't get along with everybody.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm
doctorjazz:

Really, @David W (about NGH).
I used to review jazz for an audiophile magazine The Audiophile Voice, and also used to get pre-release copies of albums (which makes sense, a they'd like the reviews to come out around the record release). But, I had to stop (to much time commitment on top of my regular routine), and they fairly quickly figured that out and stopped sending them. ECM lasted the longest, but, alas, seems to also have run dry.

doctorjazz:

Have a friend who went to the bathroom after handling some very hot peppers. I won't go into details, but he had to go to an emergency room.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:35pm
david w:

@djazz: The pre-listening part of this gig does take a lot of time, and some of it wasted on things I don't need or want. As for hot pepper contact, been there.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm
doctorjazz:

I'm sure the prep time is quite significant, can't program these great shows on the fly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:43pm

Thanks, djazz. Kind.
