Short sweet and in the realm of reality today.

Tell the truth. I'm a bit unnerved, like everybody else I suppose, by the political state of things. It's coming down to some necessary upgrades for all of us. ie, we need to buck up and keep moving. It's the way life works right . . . ?

Ok, 'nuff of the stuff we all know. Friday night I played with marty on the street. it was cool, eye opening for us both. You get a different / bigger crowd with two of you out there, and Weekend nights are different from weeknights. For anybody thinking about doing it prepare yourself for some fun, some hecklers (notmany hough, most folks are really supportive). but be ready for someone who wants to show you a song on your guitar, but can't . . . remember, shit how'd that go, oh wait there's this other song, oh I forget. . . . Long and short, be bold with your guitar, hold on to your guitar. We met a cool chick from a radio station, she really liked hearing us play. she came back to hear more.

Saturday was wierd/cool. I saw city of God, a Brazilian movie about slum life in Rio de Jainero . . . I need to go see Bossa Nova. Too many violent depressing movies aobut Brazil. It can't be all bad, right? i mean how about that joao Gilberto ? then we went to the Tango Cafe down the road in Squirrel Hill. cool little coffe shop. Defintiely authentic Argentinians there, too.
OK, Jay Keenans' last show as director of Red masquers: the Dresser. Good Show! Good Job Jay. thanks for all of your work and service and encouragement for those of us who wanted to know what is to be an actor.
