“use it or lose it” - Posted on 2006-09-21 17:29:00

thanks to robert wood for pointing the above out to me; it has been a while since i’ve done the old update.

this summer was certainly one to remember. among other things, i got married! the ceremony was beautifully done, an incredible party (featuring the music of latin vibes), and an amazing honeymoon. jen and i are doing great.

the marriage came at the very tail end of another intense and exciting event: a two month teaching job at a summer camp for children in bed-stuy brooklyn called oasis. outfitted with about 13 conga drums and a cd player, i worked with about 350 kids a week, all between the ages of 7 and 14, helping them understand and appreciate music & simple laws of acoustics. it was such a blast, seeing the kids develop over the course of the two months. pics will be up in the coming week!

for stevie wonder fans: check this and this out. also, read the relatively recent book by steve lodder about the early 70s albums!

respect has been working hard to make things happen recently. we’ll be working on our new project which will include music by sun ra and karlheinz stockhausen. also, we’ll be hitting the road in december, ending up in the fair city of rochester, ny (our hometown!) for our now annual holiday show, “respect the holidays,” on december 19th! check the website for more details as they become solidified.
