I’m so tired. It’s okay there is light at the end of the tunnel. Or is that a train? Anyway…

Times is hard for the Sun Ra Arkestra. (New York Times). The Sun Ra Arkestra recorded a few times in the 70’s at Streeterville Recording Studios, where I worked for a while in Chicago. I saw the Arkestra perform at the Chicago JazzFest in 98 or 99. It was, um, out there. Man. But it was cool to see these totally old school jazz cats freak out and go off to some far out land. That’s where I met The Sherm for the first time and shortly after that he introduced me to the free (as in way the fuck out there, not beer) jazz night at Fred Anderson’s Velvet Lounge. Whoa.
