Computer And Travel Report

The digital doctor and his aide have ministered to my invaluable, but not irreplaceable, electronic assistant, Mr. Dell. 'Ol Dell is feeling considerably perkier and moving from task to task with dispatch. I think he'll make it, after all. (Hat in the air. Spin Around. Big smile. Music up and out.) If you don't get that, you haven't watched the right reruns lately.

Speaking of up and out, I'm headed over the mountains to Seattle today to transact a bit of business and listen to the Maria Schneider Orchestra at Jazz Alley. I just learned from Jon Wikan that he will be adding his cajon to the rhythm section, bringing the size of the band to twenty. There must be staggering economics involved in transporting a big band from New York to the west, then up and down the coast. I'm glad that it can still be done.

There will be no new posts for a couple of days; I'm traveling sans laptop. I'll plan to publish a report on the performance when I return to duty.
