before the gig

Neon sign in the window, people passing by on the street in the cold. Writing, waiting for the other musicians to arrive (John Flanders and Keven Johansen). A trio for the dinner set at an Italian restaurant, Caffe Molise. Not too many customers now but it should fill up by the time we start since it's Sundance week.

The bread and wine is served while I wait on my meal, Arista - spice rubbed roast pork tenderloin. Nowadays it's a gamble eating meat. The wine: red Zinfandel - Rosenblum. The shadow of its legs on this paper.

Relaxing, eating, the thought occurs - how did it come to this? This restaurant? My life? The universe? I lean toward the infinite while trying to keep my feet on the ground.

Music is a good way to be. Expansive - in touch with the impossible. Completely present and bound to time. More than bound - music is time.

Music has no boundaries, no edges.

Where does music end? The question makes no sense. Music is not a place - it is an occurrence.

When does music end? When you are not there at the end of time. (But we won't let it end - D.C. al Coda then Vamp.)
