Oh boy!

I have had a great week. I know the greatness of the week officially ended Friday night once I started my taxes. And today it definitively hit a brick wall with my Self-Employment payout to the government. I can see why some get up in arms about where the money goes and what our legislation funds. Still I diligently wait for my bailout check....

The week was so great because I attended a concert with Man Size Safe, the current ensemble of the bassist Ben Allison. The following morning I took a private lesson with him and captured it on my girlfriend's digital recorder. Parts of that lesson may be posted on this here blog down the road as a resource. Now considering all of this I must update my resume. For not only am I "internationally performing bassist" Duane Edwards (one festival in Canada), but I have also studied with Ben Allison.

Its those little things in life that really add up (like my write-offs).
