notes:

1.
Roger Bonair-Agard was in top form tonight at his Hut feature.

2.
He reminded me that I need to get to NYC again soon.

3.
KEXP has a jazz program after my own heart…just heard Paul Motian Quartet. But the DJ is the quintessential jazz DJ…dark stoner voice, hushed delivery, etc.

4.
Love this new guitar. Strings starting to lose their new string twanginess. Now, it’s a matter of waiting for the top to open up, and then this baby’s gonna rule.

5.
Before leaving the Hut tonight, I turned Jeff onto a video that Sou and Bill and I saw on the web yesterday for an all-female AC/DC tribute band called Hell’s Belles. The lead guitarist, Adrian Conner, is insane and insanely good, transcending mere Angus imitation. Highly recommended.

I wasn’t aware of how many female tribute bands there are. Check out Cheap Chick, for instance…it’s astonishing how much the drummer really looks and sounds like Bun E. Carlos.

Video clips under Media; Beating Round the Bush highly recommended.
