  • OK, so I've read up on Netflix and throttling…

    H.o.p. woke up sick and has been down for the count all day. Marty’s out being filmed for a BBC documentary (I’ll describe later). Oh, here comes H.o.p. now.

    Nick at The Scratching Post writes: Most of all he was a nice guy, and I’m not just saying that to be polite. He’s another reminder that it’s not the things we leave behind that we’ll be remembered for; it’s the way we treat other people.

  • "Folks Behind the Faces"

    The fire that ate Rick’s house will have eaten his old Martin D28. Will have eaten his old Telecaster.

    And the Carllile Women Gave a Fantastic Show

    You know you’ve got something special when people say “This is real, this is real”. And you really know you’ve got something special when women and men are left crying. Which is what happened at the concert the Carllile women gave Sunday night. These are special people. And Sunday’s was a special event. Virginia, Calli…

  • The sessions with Junko Takeo

    Marty’s had the pleasure this week of–via recording sessions with jazz pianist, Takana Miyamoto–working with koto player Junko Takeo. I wanted to witness some of this, and she had invited me to come down, but never could sync things up with H.o.p. to get down there. I had hoped, but…and now he is playing some…

    So H.o.p. was down at the studio today. Marty has been recording Heston, a Dominican-born, Philadelphia-raised R&B singer. Heston’s little girl was there. A sweet smooth song and there’s a section in it about grade school teasing. Heston wanted a little background of a boy teasing a girl and had tried adults but it didn’t…

    I never post studio news and I ought to. Marty’s going to be recording jazz pianist Takana Miyamoto and koto legend Junko Takeo. And that’s exciting.
