[dba-Tech] Why I just destroyed my cell phone

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Rocky:

That is so cool...would love to see your performance. That takes me back a few years.

Aside: I think we are deviating off technical stuff unless you interested in discussing mathematical intricacies of your playing methods. ;-)

Jim

I like it!  I'm playing stand-up bass in the house band (just me and the drummer/owner) at a coffee house called Brick 15 in Del Mar on Sunday.  It started by a couple we're friendly with.  He's got a nice roster of talent coming in and people are competing to do Deportee. :)  Should be a hoot!

So in addition to Martin I'd like to add Woody Guthrie, if that's OK with you.

Rocky,

You certainly struck a resonant chord with me. When I am out in the world, increasingly rarely, I most definitely do not want to be interrupted by a cell-call. Even when I'm at home, I don't want such interruptions, unless from recognized numbers.

Physical mail is easy enough to deal with -- just toss it in the trash bin.
But for some reason, I keep receiving emails from web sites offering free sex-chats with Chinese, Russian, Czech, Hungarian and other ethnic women.
The up-side is that at least they recognize that I'm heterosexual. But even though I spam them, they keep coming. I don't know how they find me, and why they think I'd pay money for net-sex with some stranger, but I don't know how to stop all this. I mark all these emails as spam but that doesn't seem to help.

On the other hand, someday, sometime, I would love to make music with you.
My instrument is tabla, which actually might be redundant with bass, but maybe with a guitar and a violin we could make something work. What the hell, let's toss in a banjo! As irt happens, I know a virtuoso player, Steve Martin -- a very gifted player. Wait, I didn't mean that I know him personally, just that I've seen him play and he is incredibly gifted. So I'm going to continue with this fantasy that you're on bass and I'm on tabla and Steve is on banjo, and we're going to invent a new genre called Country Eastern Jazz. ☺  _______________________________________________
