I'm reminded of my time in astrophysics school. There was a bunch of goths who called themselves the 'Dark Matters'. They'd go around bullying anyone who refused to believe the dark matter phenomenon...
If I ever had a kid, I wouldn't let him or her go into jazz music. Jazz music won't be played around the house at all. It's too dangerous of an industry and it will beat you down to the ground...
My parents knew academia would eat me alive. They were classical pianists. Mom said go run with gangsters. It's safer. I wound up in Japan. That was pretty great.

I know, especially after time away. But I can't really tell what you're doing, that's the trouble. I don't know whether you played the Abo or the E7, etc. It's difficult without a backing. Grant...

Resonator plus toaster pickup for the perfect...
