Joan and I sit down and talk about teaching, writing music, being 80, and being one of women blazing trails in the composition world (without realizing that was what she was doing). She’s a national treasure. DNA for Percussion Quartet

I sit down in Cliff and Yuko's office at NIU and talk about his life around

the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago.

We have scones and catch up on family stuff and the life she's lived. We'll

talk more. You'll love her as I do, I'm quite sure of it.

Dan is the General Manager of District Social, a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. https://districtsocialnyc.com

We talk wine, the restaurant business, we curse a little, and drink a bottle of really nice chardonnay and sip some fine whiskey. Dan has a fun job. He'll be starting a podcast soon called Fancy Drunks.

I sit down with 3/4 of Overground Percussion, aka TIGUE. They are charting a course no one else quite charted and they're killing it. So proud and pumped to hear them get comfy in their own skin.

part two!

I sat down with Adam Tendler and we chatted politics, religion, music, what being 'safe' means, among many other things, all over 4 lovely Vermont Beers.

I look forward to chatting with him again soon. Very interesting and good dude.

Now that I've found the missing file/avoided sabotage, you can now hear the whole picture and decide for yourself about Todd Meehan--Mixed Martial Artist from Yale, Father, Husband, Husbandrist, Author of 4 E-Books on "husbandry as a hobby" and 6 more on "method booking for dummies" and a novella titled "A man dreams of triangles--A Story of lost love and misguided youth."

Enjoy.

I sit down in the early morn at #SoSI2010 in a dorm room to talk it out. I made as much lemonade as I could out of this one folks
