@Mackle - private? Nay! Being a good lurker I saw what those two were chatting about recently about semi-existential topics. Being a bad lurker, I decided to chime in. :)
Sadly, neither pool, nor shower, rather, Bowl of Water on a Madhattan Roofdeck.
Late Addition: Along the lines of struggles; questioning, lamenting, confusion, self-flagellation. Not once, has listening to Thelonious Monk failed to make me feel better.
He is my tonic. (or perhaps, OzzyNelson, my gin and tonic?)
I aspire to live like he plays.
hendricks & tonic with cucumber to be precise. so, damn, this place is once again poignant as hell and right on time. thanks for the pic, the reference to conversations I missed from two of my favorite people, and the writing : )
Thanks for thanks, CDub. Glad to be timely. cheers *clink*
Further, if any of you fellas (@hale, Dschonn, Mackle...) have yet to see the documentary, The Cruise, I highly highly recommend. Timothy Speed Levich will bust your mind open in a staggering, beautiful way. (I think it's streaming on netflix)
And I loved both of those videos. Thelonious Monk clearly has not been trained "proper" form, but is more expressive than I'll ever be with a piano, my first instrument. Speed Levitch did, in fact, just bust my mind open a little, though I disagree slightly with the way he parsed "Glory is fleeting." Fleeting is more an adjective there than a verb, at least the way I understand the sentence. But that doesn't really harm his point.
