Here are Alan Kaplan (studio trombonist extraordinaire!) and Steve Ferguson (with several of his inventory of excellent trombones . . .he also sells tubas, horn and trumpet and all the best ancillary items like mutes and mouthpieces). This is at John Sandhagen's "Boneyard" meet after Easter a few years ago. Alan is holding a copy of my CD with my home recordings. He liked the playing and was very nice about listening to it and commenting. Posted by Picasa

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...

Ann Coulter -- Republicans, Bloggers and Gays, Oh My!

Welcome to uExpress featuring Ann Coulter -- The Best Advice and Opinions The Universe! This only shows the complete and UTTER HYPOCRISY of those involved in fomenting this "scandal". Of course the very basis of the scandal is without merit. The pass is a "day pass", which is relatively easy to get. I'm sure that any one of several blogs could easily get these. The offense? Going easy on the POTUS. . . what? Like there are no liberal commentators to go "hard" on the guy? Or maybe there is no one in the liberal hard-ball press corps with a three digit IQ? [more likely] So this guy ran a male escort service years ago. . . We Republicans and Christians are so OVERFORGIVING. This is because we are the party of compassion. I forgot! That's SUPPOSED TO BE the Dems area of expertise. Well, right now they are excoriating an innocent man, because he was representing a conservative position, as a reporter at the White House and is, or was gay. Read ...
