REAGAN BIRTHDAY CAUSE FOR DEBATE

Yes, in Minnesota, Democrats can debate whether Ronald Reagan should be honored. . . .YES! Democratic politics has come to this. . .several of the MN Dems said stubbornly that they were unhappy or distressed at the "ideology" that seems to have been part of a resolution honoring Reagan's birthday.

Perhaps they are distressed that many citizens in Minnesota are beginning to realize that the Democratic party no longer represents any of their most important beliefs. Perhaps the typical citizen of Minnesota feels that there are things more important than allowing every woman to be able to have an abortion any time she wants it. Or perhaps they see grander issues than supporting the right of college professors to preach "hate" about the history of the United States (i.e. Ward Churchill).

Just maybe. . .

Incidentally, I can't help but like these guys up in frosty Twin Cities. Loved walking for miles and miles on your city's elevated second-story walkway (most of the city of Minneapolis has this cool enclosed walkway at the second story level. . .it allows you to walk indoors around most of the city.

Way cool! . . .er WARM!

So I am busying myself with Music and Computing

So it is fairly official: I am playing bone as much as is humanly possible, while also training and improving my computing skills (these devices seem to be with us for the long run...). So, it would also make sense for me to post here more often. I just got off a weekend out of town gig and am back in Van Nuys practicing, taking calls and cleaning up my kit (bones, clothes, mute bag) Will play a rehearsal tonight and a few this week, though Thanksgiving will interrupt and therefore this week will likely be light.

Stay Tuned for Web Dev Stuff

I'm doing the build of Westernstudioservice.com into a "customer oriented" web site. That means I'm taking the same marketing oriented basic website and changing it into a modern CSS based site with a logon for designated customers (several at first. . .possibly more later) who will be able to access a secure area to see PDF versions of their current inventory as printed by Michael Brittain. Michael's database is based upon Filemaker, which is currently at version 9. I can see there is a web section to the filemaker product. It is possible I will ultimately have to either migrate the database to a SQL type engine like SQL Server or MySQL and have Michael's database talk to that, or to have the Filemaker work through the net with remote logons managed through the website. For a first run, I'm interested in getting Filemaker reports available on a logged on basis, then I'll attack the redesign necessary to allow for up-to-the-minute access of a databas

More and more music ... seems to be a whirlwind

I am now taking everything I can in trombone land. I am trying to get the word out that I am the darndest, super-cool, freelancer trombone player you will ever have in your group...(hear that, contractors?). Have extensive experience in Top 40 band/ R&B...Jazz groups large and small....orchestras...chamber music (e.g. brass quintet) church music, theater work onstage and in the pit, and recordings. I am in the Local 47 directory (will be in 2010 book), and can be reached at (818) 309-8804 or (818) 763-9397 I come in from the Van Nuys area, so I'm centrally located for most LA based work. I also enjoy doing work with many of my longstanding friends from Orange County. So, I really get around this great big city. PICS COMING! So I am doing quite a lot of playing. Keeping my Union dues up, too! [above is the racked equipment used in a festival here in town... also, you can see a big band setting up in Simi Valley, and nearby, and the thing we all like--applause...well, an &qu
