The Basic Facts: * five brass players and one percussionist from New York City, * expandable to include piano, extra percussion, guitar, bass, saxophone * performances in 49 states * performances in Romania, Finland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria * performances in Japan and Taiwan * performances in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and Cuba * nine critically acclaimed compact discs on the Channel Classics label * assisted in changing the face of chamber music through innovative repertoire and high-octane performances. ............ -

"If you're horny for Frank Zappa's modernist monkeyshines, move over to the Meridian Arts Ensemble. The brass quintet (plus drums and sometimes keyboards) are the renegade classicists who cut class to play Zappa, Beefheart and commissioned works from respected avant-garde composers. Finally, Zappa (and others) get the classical valvedation they deserve." -- from Progrography .. .. .. .. ..

"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TRUTH AND LIES ...
According to Webster, a LIE is defined as:
1.) a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive;
an INTENTIONAL UNTRUTH; a FALSEHOOD..
2.) something intended or serving to convey a FALSE
IMPRESSION; imposture: His flashy car was a lie
that deceived no one.
3.) an INACCURATE or FALSE STATEMENT.
4.) the charge or accusation of LYING:
THE TRUST OF THE INNOCENT IS THE LIAR'S
MOST USEFUL TOOL! DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING
YOU HEAR!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

It Takes 10,000 HOURS to Develop Talent Meridian!
How Many Hours Have You Clocked Today?
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT the 10,000 HOUR RULE ...
It has been said that you must have 10,000 hours
of practice in a subject to be an EXPERT.
“In fact, by the age of twenty, the elite performers (violinists) had each totaled 10,000 hours of practice.”
"The emerging picture from such studies is that 10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a WORLD CLASS EXPERT."
1 HOUR PER DAY OF PRACTICE WOULD REQUIRE 27.3
YEARS OF PRACTICE TO EQUAL10,000 HOURS.
3 HOURS OF PRACTICE PER DAY - WITH NO DAYS
OFF - WOULD STILL TAKE 9.1 YEARS OF PRACTICE
TO EQUAL 10,000 HOURS!

"Whatever they grow up to be,
they are still OUR CHILDREN, and the one most important
of all the things we can give to them is UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE. Not a love that depends on ANYTHING AT ALL

Live a LIFE OF KINDNESS Meridian!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE POWER OF A TOUCH ...
"Too often we UNDERESTIMATE the power of a TOUCH,
a SMILE, a KIND WORD, a LISTENING EAR, an HONEST
