Heh!! Lets try some trivia on the old blog tonight? Who played Bass on Frank Zappa's valley girl. (there is a Cd in it for the winner if you answer in the next 24 hours!!...tpogate@interlog.com

When was the last time you threw on a Zappa record. He is amazing. I love that man.

Apparently Rob McConnell opened his show at the Rex (during the IAJE conference) by saying; "I hear there are a lot
of Americans in town. I hope we dont piss ourselves!"

That is funny.
His following line was even better but you will have to email me to get it; tposgate@interlog.com

Nice to get some email from some blog readers. Thanks! (tposgate@interlog.com) Did you ever notice that the really
interesting stuff in emails is often in the lower part of the email, that previous, previous message people are
responding to, forwarding etc. that you usually have to scroll down to.
It is fun to read old emails. I have a friend who sends me back emails from months or years ago. Very entertaining

Yes I like blogs. Did I mention that already? did I mention that the CBC said the word blog should be eliminated? Well....here is one of my fave blogs...much better than "flipping" on the TV....http://ergjazz.blogspot.com/

check it out! I do...tposgate@interlog.com

Good turnout for the Clutton band Cd launch last night. My piece went quite well besides a few unpredictable glitches and some technical problems that I had. A day later I am wondering if I should stick to shorter pieces (suites etc.) as a young composer. Hard to keep
one idea interesting for twenty minutes. Maybe someday. Back to work...have to finish this suite for Runcible Spoon by early February. It is a lot of fun already.
