One of my earliest concert memories is seeing the tour for this album at Amazing Grace Coffee House in Evanston Illinois, my first Pat Metheny concert.

I bought the album the following day. On vinyl.

Well, it's been a while since I posted. For some reason I hadn't been listening to music in a while but in the past couple of days I have started. Today's album: Adam and Eve (Catherine Wheel)

001 - Aus Meinen Herzens Grunde (BMV 269) From the Riemenschneider book. I'm working on one chorale per week and using them to learn how to play fretless bass.

This is where I started with Bach chorales on fretless bass. The first chorale in the Riemenschnider book:

Feb 7th midnight to midnight PST, Bandcamp will donate 100% of its proceeds to MusiCares to aid those affected by the Southern California wildfires, partnering with A2IM, Harman, Lagunitas, Roland, Shure, Victrola, and Women in Music (WIN) to amplify this effort. Mark your calendar, spread the word.

I work at NIH. The fear among staff is palpable. "It felt like all functions of our job had just been completely stripped away, like the system had been completely crippled."

Agreeing to speak on the condition of anonymity, one NIH researcher describes in chilling detail the β€œchaos” of the Trump administration’s first days.

Here’s what they’ve seen in their own words.

This was the second Metheny album I bought after seeing the band on their Watercolors tour back in the 1970's. l have a fond place in my heart for those early Metheny albums.
