'Sliding' is a studio improv from early Jan '09.
'Jeff's Bekishe'- yiddishe r & b swing
I threw in some Trout Mask Replica riffs in our Louie Louie Bolero thing last week. It was mainly because I had listened to the whole album in one sitting in response to learning the one drummer I met who claimed to have liked Beefheart in fact did not.
Whether you were there physically or in spirit we want to thank you for being our friends and all your support. We had 11,000 participants, great weather, an international array of vegetarian foods, yummy smoothies, cooking demos and talks for the body, mind and soul. Everyone went home healthier and wiser including me. We are trying to assess how many friends came from myspace. I would appreciate a note or comment letting us know if you came to Veggie Fest on either day. Much Love & Blessings
