From the wisdom of Chris - Pt. 2
A guy calls the musician’s guild to get a quote on a six piece band for a wedding. The rep says “Off the top of my head, about two thousand dollars”. He says “WHAT?

From the wisdom of Chris
• “Technique” is primarily how you do something, not just how fast you so something. • Find places to play with, hear, meet and study with musicians who create/perform music the way you’d someday like to. • Soft music should have the same intensity as music played loudly, only it should sound very far away. • Listen more closely to the sounds around you than forcing your sound...

Brilliant!
I am simplifying my technology in five ways…
First, I am eliminating any bookmarks, software/webware that I haven’t used in the last seven days. This is an idea I picked up from my friend Jeff Sandquist at Microsoft.

Ich habe ausgesorgt!
Ich habe gerade eine eigentlich vertrauliche Email von Ndema Nosiviwe erhalten, kann aber vor lauter Freude nicht an mich halten und muss es einfach jedem mitteilen. Er bietet mir ein sehr lukratives Geschäft an, das ich natürlich annehmen muss! Ich werde jetzt mal schnell antworten und muss dann wahrscheinlich einige Angelegenheiten mit meiner Bank klären, bevor ich mir erstmal ein neues Auto...
