I reached a point today when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball with some Coltrane and mochi and whimper... but instead I led a haphazard rehearsal of cacaphonic percussion music for Cabrillo's production of Oedipus Rex. Why do I commit myself to these things? I truly truly thought I was aware of the time commitment and would be able to do it

mmmm...Coltrane. I just came across your journal and noticed the reference towards jazz in the last three entries.

That alone constitutes a random comment from a random person with a mutual interest.

yay random jazz person

i'm kind-of a newbie in the world of jazz improv, but I love it. It's especially hard for a vocalist to train (no buttons/strings to push/pluck) or to gain respect (stereotypical assumptions). but it's worth it!

so you're a bassist?

The best part of Mel Brooks "The History of the World, Part 1" is whilst on the run from the Romans, the group passes a blind beggar.

The guy is pleading "alms for Oedipus!" When he recognizes the voice of the black dude. The black dude turns to him and goes "Oedipus! Whassaup mutha fucka'?

Brilliant!

hahaha
