SO I posted that "Like a Prayer" video on my facebook wall, and ended up getting into an arguement with an old "friend" from high school, who tried to say I have stopped growing musically, and that I cannot keep up with the people she's played with, and I am "settling". WTF?
Because I like a song by Madonna, you feel it'
s ok to judge my playing? You can glean, from my facebook posts, that I somehow stagnated in high school? Bullshit! You don't know me, you haven't seen me play since I was 17, and you don't know what I do in practice. As far as musical growth, I have gone from a failing Marcus Miller wannabe into a damn fine, pocket player who can drop some killer licks when the time comes, but understands that context is everything. If that's not musical growth, I don't knw what is!
So PhuckU and your pretentious, I play latin jazz and you don't attitude!
Sorry... I just needed a place I could say that. Thanks!

PSA: My Near-Death Post-Superbowl Experience |

Last night at 3am, I woke from a hard sleep and sat straight up in bed. I couldn't breathe at all. I could breathe out, but not in. My wife heard me gasping and choking and woke quickly. She was ready to call the ambulance. My vision started closing in and getting snowy, and I was turning blue. My ears started ringing and my entire body was covered in sweat instantly. I noticed a horrible acid taste in my mouth and was choking on it.
Time slowed to agonising ticks on the clock. With my new-found slow-mo mode, I figured out what happened. I had an acid reflux aspiration... I had an acid burp, and inhaled it. My lungs rejected the acid and closed my epiglottis. I've only had a reflux a few times, usually following a huge meal and early bedtime (or falling asleep in my recliner after dinner). This was horrible. I was so angry that this was how I was going to die.
I finally got a short breath. Just enough to keep me conscious. Breathing became easier after a few more gasps, and life returned to normal.
It must've been the meatballs

I'll just go ahead and lay this right here for you...
It's the one in the back 
For those who aren't FB friends with me, I've been friends with Mark Moore of MarkSound Guitars in OK. He has perfected the modern paisley. I've drooled over his work since he first started, and now one of his "aged pink" paisleys is coming home to Nashville.
I sent him a 4lb, 12oz alder '54 Precision body (a '51 with contours) to get paisley-fied. I was planning to use a maple-'boarded Precision neck, but after seeing it with the dark-colored paint stick I am sure I'm using rosewood.
No pickguard, all 70's-era hardware with the Gotoh tuners and Badass II bridge... this will be my first bass using the Chrome Dome Lace Sensor Strat pickup 
So... very... excited!!!
