First Known Cobloggeration. Making Music Over Blogs.
Frank Sinatra did it. Natalie Cole did it with her dad (from archived recordings) and now Scott Andrew LePera and Shannon Cambell have created their own "Duet" (thank you doc) for what might be the first collaborative long-distance music effort inspired by Blogs. I'm calling this cobloggaration. Sure we see a lot of diatribe and discussion with words. But Scott took one of Shannon's raw tracks and started "commenting" on it through the use of overdubs. The result is a fine song with a fascinating history. I'm inspired.

How Fitting. The Dentist On Halloween.
Well after two hours of poking, scraping, drilling and lockjaw, I'm home. Novocain wears off at lot faster these days. So my jaw is feeling more normal than I remember. My new dentist, Wally, loves me -- or I should say -- my mouth. After the two-hour procedure he says, wow. I could just work on your teeth all day. A rewarding compliment. Not. I must say I have neglected my dental hygiene since my dentist of many years retired a couple years ago. Now Wally has got me on a program. Great.
But dental technology has improved. Good ole Dr. Long, bless his surfing, painting and traveling retirement. But he had more passion for those things in his retirement, than for dentistry. Wally on the other hand has all the latest tools. Big flat panel LCD monitor where he brings up my shining (or not so) ivories 100 times life-size or more. He loves his work. No sooner than his assistant was handing my well-deserved glass of rinse water was Wally pulling up before and after pictures of his work -- ah, rather my teeth! I admire his passion. He's into it. And so am I, for a tune of $$$$? I'll see Wally next week. Subject? Crown talk. More later.

Keb Mo' - 10.30.02 Cerritos Center For The Performing Arts
Live music. It's such a good thing. Last night I joined friends for an evening with Keb Mo' - a contemporary bluesman who has chalked up a couple Grammy's for his efforts.
But the Cerritos Center For The Performing Arts? . I've lived in Orange County (California) for nearly 20 years. And when I think of Cerritos I think of auto malls and concrete ... | more |
