Vandoren Reeds Dropped at Roberto’s

I was at Roberto’s Woodwinds today to pick up some V16 soprano reeds.  An employee told me they no longer carry Vandoren reeds.  The reason given was that they were "expensive and inconsistent". Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t reeds always been expensive and inconsistent!? I suspect there’s more to the story than that.  But it [...]

Smaz Blues

I finally got around to installing software on my digital audio workstation today.  The machine, cobbled together from old parts, is an Athlon XP 2600+ with 512MB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.  It’s dual booting Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 8.10.  I usually have it running in Ubuntu as my media server [...]

Styrofoam Shoes

I took a cab in Staten Island today back to the ferry terminal.  The cab driver was this dude with wavy gray hair slicked back, pointy face, probably 70 but looked 85 from smoking — the kind of guy you’d peg hanging at OTB every day, not driving a cab.  He had a friendly, who cares [...]

New Business Card

I have to get business cards printed, so I made this design today that I’m pretty happy with: Btw, the e-mail address doesn’t work yet.  And the URL will be on the back, and that’s not ready yet, either. Comments?  Critiques?

Brillig

This was in the yard of the folks that put up the band in Martha’s Vineyard a few years ago. Took the picture in a hurry on the way off. Transformed it into something inspirational… I finally have my vorpal sword.
