I have an appointment at 9 Tuesday morning that I can't move. I don't think it will work out 3 hours down and 3 back up. Man, this is like getting the first 5 numbers on a 6 number lotto ticket. So close.
Have a great show. If you are back through the NY area, or hit Boston let me know. Those are both within range if I have a little time to plan.
Amazing stuff, Boris. Isn't Germany closer to you than the USA? I suppose that would depend on whether you turn left or roght when you leave the airport ;). Would love to find out you have a gig planned somewhere in the Nuremberg area at some point.
I have a question on technique, if you don't mind. In the Kalin-Hall video, how do you do the thing that starts around 1:14 - the rapidly repeated note? Is this the famous tongue fluttering technique that I read about on occasion, or is it something else? Whatever it is, you use it to great effect.
I'm going to try to make it to Deerfield, but its about 90 miles through the city. I'll do my best to make it. Does Joe Filisko know about this? He can get the word out.
