Why I like my home system better than live music

When Miles, and Coltrane, are visible playing, along

with my stuff, then I would like my home set-up more.

Watching Anthony Jackson give the ContraBass a work-out.

Bireli Lagrene, playing the guitar...

Dennis Chambers, giving Drumming 101.

Watching the expressions of these artists, is what I enjoy.

Pat Metheny, Carlos Santana, both put on tremendous

demonstrations, of their amazing talents.

At the Greek down in L.A., I would stop at "Tommys" and

score a famous chili-cheese, hotdog, and hamburger, and

head to the Greek. Those were some great times.

Now I put on a DVD of them playing instead.

All that is missing is "Tommys".

Concerts By The Sea, The Baked Potato, Catalina, were a few

places years ago, that provided great music, without the

mobs.

Phoenix and Tempe, used to have Jazz at a couple spots,

again, not to many folks, like "Red River" KYOT, the Local

Jazz station put on concerts, years back also.

People that listen to Jazz, LISTEN, they are very

friendly, especially the Musicians.

Indoors, or out, generally Jazz listeners, are pretty

easy going.

I Love Music!
