Maybe I should start a blog

 I got 10 large things listed last night, so that's good. For some reason sales seem to be slow, although our numbers are looking better. 

I did a little practice before bed, not very much. Maybe I'm tired from my busking session still. My sound was decent though. 

I told Tom by email about my busking session and he said maybe I ought to start a blog. That's a pretty good idea and I'll have to seriously consider it. 

I also ordered three shakuhachi bags from Mejiro in Japan and I'm thinking now, I put in my credit card number but not the little 3-digit number on the back. Hopefully they'll get back with me if that's needed. The order means I now have a Mejiro username and password I can log in with. 

I packed all the things that needed to go, and got out of here at 4:30. Got rid of everything and stopped in at H Mart for another bottle of makgeolli, found some useful boxes on my way back, and stopped in at Tom's because I usually hang out with him on Mondays bit I'd skipped it last night. 

Tom and I ended up drinking beer for a few hours, having his Siri play all kinds of music. He tried to convince me Wilco is a good band (with no real success) and I introduced him to pieces of music like d:contamination by Man Or Astro-Man and commented on how, as chaotic as it sounds, the structure and even melody are directly traceable to Bach and Mozart. We had a good ol' time and listened to tons of music. 

Once we'd drunk his beer supply dry it was getting pretty late anyway (8:30 PM which is the same as 11:30 PM in the now times) and I buzzed on back here. 

I'm trying to get Tom into busking, and since he played in "Symphonic band" I keep maintaining that he's had to have been better than I have, and I was kind of tickled to see he had a copy of Herbert L. Clarke's "Elementary Studies". That's not a very easy book to find, and he said he "got it when he was inspired by Miles Davis". I've got to drag the guy out busking with me.

Heavy, man.

 Last night I got the Connstellation cornet out and put the screw for the 1st valve trigger back on, and installed new water key corks too. ...
