Man, I'm getting rusty
Nothing profound, yet again...
Yes, yours truly is playing the saxophone on page 88 of the December 2005 issue of Fast Company. If you want to know what I do for my day gig, pick up a copy. You'll see that really cool '70's shirt that I have. As for our company's product, it's addictive, and it now comes in an advertising-supported free version. Check out www.pandora.com. When you subscribe, you'll be hooked, but in a good way, especially if you're a music aficionado...
I've realized that "Hey Nineteen" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I sang background vocals on that tune last Friday at a karaoke bar in El Cerrito ("No, we can't dance together...no we can't talk at all" and "The Cuervo Gold...the fine Colombian...make tonight a wonderful thing"). Fortunately, I had musical ace Kevin Seal at my side, nailing a perfect third above me, hitting notes I rarely attempt. As I continue in my musical existence, I realize that there are more and more things I enjoy doing besides playing reed instruments...
...which reminds me-- I'm about to unveil my newest musical project in early 2006. It'll be my first serious attempt as a songwriter (aside from penning "Ladies' Man" with the New Morty Show-- it's on the "Rigomorty" CD). I'll keep you posted.
My Stanford Cardinal is off to a dreadful start (the men, not the women). The men's team was ranked 13th in the preseason polls, but is now 2-3, with losses to UC Irvine, Montana, and UC Davis (why can't our teams beat UC Davis in major sports?!?). If nothing else, it's preseason, and the team is just trying to get its act together. But so is everyone else...in any case, Trent Johnson knows what he's doing. He turned Nevada (Reno, UNLV) into a major contender, and he turned the Cardinal around after a rough start last year. Film at eleven...
