Argentina Diary
Day 1
6:40am. I stumble off the American Airlines flight from Miami after a mostly sleepless flight. The first thing I notice is that all the airport workers are wearing medical masks and rubber gloves. Guess they’re…
What's cool about this lesson is you never hear and bad note out of Andrei and he's playing the same triad over and over. Check him out on YouTube. He's a really great player. He plays classical and jazz. I'm especially blown away by his…

Hey everyone, I thought I'd share a recent "project" of mine. (headphones recommended!). I hope this is an okay place to share this!
As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of progressive rock, and more recently, space/psychedelic rock. I'…
The producer I am working with to create soundtracks for his mini-series has become one of my favorite teachers. He is not a musician, nor does he even play an instrument formally. His relationship to music comes from his understanding…
