Hello from North Charleston, SC!

Hello friends!

I'm going live on Friday 3/28 at 3PM as part of The Cultural Exchange - hope to see you then!

Here are the highlights from last week's stream in Durham, NC:

Bull jam (improvised in Durham) 

Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles 

Closer by RM 

Superstition by Stevie Wonder 

Blinding Lights by The Weeknd 

Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder 

Hey Jude by The Beatles

I also did a little test stream of an ambient, keyboard-only format I'm thinking about doing. Feel free to check it out and let me know if this is something you'd enjoy tuning in for late at night!

Here's last week's "crossover" wall tag that we left at the DPAC in Durham. I thought it was pretty brilliant!

North Charleston has been pretty fun so far! We went into downtown Charleston and couldn't resist getting a picture at this steakhouse:

It's always fun seeing Blast tags backstage. This one (from after I left Blast) is here in North Charleston:

I walked past a building that houses the Charleston Jazz Academy, and also an axe-throwing facility. I don't know why, but that juxtaposition just struck me as hilarious. Perhaps it's because we jazz musicians often refer to our instrument as our "axe" - and jazz can be daunting to learn sometimes. So I wonder if students ever get frustrated and want to go next door to throw their axe at the wall... 

Anyway, I had some delicious pizza at this place, the Mellow Mushroom:

And as usual, here's the view from this week's office at the Coliseum:
