Last Jun session/Frisell concert

Thursday: Up around 7:30, but let MB take the first shower. Some email and web. She headed out around 8:30 and I had my shower. Fed the cats. Headed down basement for morning practices. Called the library and renewed the Bartok scores. Clipped the cat's nails. Packed car, and headed for Jun's around 10:40.

Another perfect day, weather wise. I made it to Jun's a couple minutes late. A good session, recapping some of the previous material, doing a bit of playing, talking about the future, and the upcoming performance. Jun told me about a friend of his (where the performance will be held) who has a full bar in his basement. Today was the last of this series, but perhaps there will be another series. I left around 1:15.

Had my traditional post-Jun pizza, sitting in my car, then off to work. A brief day in the office. Determined that disk reads are running flat-out, but I'm still not getting the through-put I would expect. More research tomorrow. Mth had me sign a card because someone was having a third nipple removed. He wasn't kidding. Left around 5:10.

Over to Arlington for a session with Shawn. Grg was there. Hadn't seen him in quite some time. Shw and I worked on some GC repertoire, which proved a challenge to both of us. Then, a new number (cover tune), and our other material. Good stuff. Grg came in at the end, and we called it an early night.

Drove back home, and dropped of my guitars. Said hi/bye to MB. Headed out again. Hit traffic on Storrow, so arrived at the concert about 10 minutes late. Bill Frisell. Amazing...heavenly. I thought they had been playing for about 20 minutes, but when I looked at my watch, over an hour had passed. He played a bunch of standards. Somehow his style infuses everything with a ethereal duskiness that leaves one suspended in time, dreaming of dive-bars and sweeping plains.

I picked up a fast food veggie burger on the way home. MB was out at a BD gig. Watched some of "Human Nature" while eating. The cats wanted desperately to eat my fast food. Gus seemed intent on the onion rings, and Leo had designs on the milkshake. Shut off the movie and some end of the day things. MB returned home about midnight. A man, who seemed a little simple, gave her a dollar, and then wouldn't leave her alone.
