Now that Adam has access to slick recording gear for work, we’ve been recording in the same room from time to time. We also had a guest for this episode so it worked out really well for everyone.
I don’t know how comfortable I am with this level of semi-professionalism.
Animated McBess is pretty damn great.
Made another great meatloaf this weekend. 2.25 pounds, half beef (50/50 chuck and sirloin) and then ~quarter pounds of pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey.
Also have minced onion/parsley/garlic/carrot(!) with the standard bread crumbs and grated parmesan.
Also enjoyed these great beers. I’ve been losing my taste for IPAs lately, but the 10% jam from Equilibrium was impossibly well-balance for all the booze. I’m sure having it with dinner helped the cause, but I really liked it.
The (thankfully) smaller in size and ABV beer from Maine Beer Company was a perfect after dinner glass. It was borderline refreshing after the Big Dinner Beer.
I had this the other night. The Veil describes it as: Simple Ale designed by our Funkhaüst manager Pizza Nick and brewed in collaboration with our buddies @heirloomrusticales from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We fermented this spelt Farmhouse Ale at cooler temperatures in oak with a blend of a few of our favorite brewers yeasts. Half way …
The sunsets offer their own awards (and are easier to be around for)
This is worth $3 for the cover alone. The sounds are a 5-star bonus. Like always, Steady Sounds has the hookup.
Released in 1959 (which is the same year Hawai’i became a state), this is Les and Mary being great with their take on luau music. It’s a very chill listen.
You can hear it on Spotify:
But holy smokes, the weather was perfect.
And it’s always a good time to hang out with friends. It would have been cooler if I’d played well (and not lost so many goddamn balls).
The Martha Graham Dance Company staged their “Eve Project” last night at The Modlin Center.
I get to go to a fair number of these professional dance performances because my youngest daughter is in a couple of dance programs. I really enjoy them.
The physical power of the performers really needs to be seen live to understand. Just like it’s hard to see how massive pro athletes are on tv, it’s the same with these folks on the stage. The raw physical power coupled with the flexibility and (for lack of a better word) grace of the dancers is something I have come to enjoy.
View this post on Instagram Hello, my friends. I’m so excited to tell you about my memoir, BIG SEXY. I wrote a book about my life growing up in the Dominican Republic and playing the game I love. Preorders are open now. It is coming out in April. Link is in my bio. Thank you! …
I’ve seen Branford once and Wynton a couple of times, but this was my first time seeing The Patriarch, Ellis Marsalis, perform live. The show was great. Jae Sinnet was technically the bandleader, it’s his trio, but he was appropriately deferential to Ellis. The Tin Pan is an odd little venue tucked at the end …
