BOOO Economy!

Unfortunately, with my personal finances being what they are (unemployed since last December), I can't afford to return to The Real School this spring. I'm disappointed, but I will persevere on my own with steady and frequent practice, so that when I jump back onto the classroom circuit, I will have measurable improvement.

In the meantime, I am going to see if my friend Jay will either spend some time with me to help me learn some useful stuff, or even pay him for the occasional lesson.

Recommendations (music I am into at the moment):

• Minus Pilots
• The Tumbled Sea
• R.E.M.'s "Live at The Olympia" double disc - especially "On the Fly" and the older material
• The Mamas & the Papas - I watched their doc on the Biography Channel this morning.
