Gaping hole opens in ChΓ’teauguay bridge, triggers road closure The Sauvagine Bridge over the ChΓ’teauguay River was abruptly closed on Wednesday after part of its deck gave way.

Air Lore is so fucking good. The Blythe is interesting, Abdul Wadud on cello. The guitar player reminds me too much of a better version of myself to really enjoy him. Very different takes on Monk tunes. Good record. A Fickle Sonance is a classic. It even features a Monk tune stolen by Sonny Clark.

That time I did but then of course it pushes something the 4th and 5ths on B and G out. I think I generally go about 10 cents flat on the B so there's some equilibrium there. What a pain in the ass, lol. But once you hear a just 3rd you can never un-hear it.

I always tune by ear because of this. One day a while back I checked it after with a tuner and I had been tuning my B string about 14 cents flat. It's a real balancing act to get a guitar to be kind of in tune but you have to have a pretty decent ear.

He's been up and down this year but mostly been pretty good. Celebrini, though. My goodness.

I haven't been watching the game, I just got home not long ago, so I don't know if you're joking, lol. He was great at the Olympics.

I know I said I wouldn't buy anything from a record again store for the foreseeable future but I didn't foresee being near a record store today.

I was in Ottawa all day and ended killing time on Bank Street. There happened to be a store nearby so I stopped in to see what they had. Found these:

A globe-trotting episode of The AM, with artists from Brazil, Lebanon, Germany, Mali, pre-revolution Iran and the Iranian diaspora, and unsurprising detours to the UK and Australia. The world is smaller than it seems, and music makes those distances even smaller.

Been working in this Cannonball Adderley thing for the past couple of days. Octave changes are really difficult. My left hand thumb is too lazy. Still, better than a couple of days ago.
