I think this is Tom Wolk on bass. It makes me happy to listen to him play, he played like a cross between Motown and Paul McCartney. Apparently, the song is about a dude with ties to Chicago, the son of the guy who brought KFC to Chicago. Yekh. Anyway, T-Bone Wolk is my favorite thing about Hall & Oates.
Just ordered real book; same price I paid 20 years ago.
Two great examples of space in music:
- The clean guitar in “Another One Bites the Dust”
- The bass line in the theme from “Mad Men”
Returning to a point in the past is a fool's quest, to be sure. When I think longingly of my 20's, I force myself to remember the whole picture: the poverty, the hangovers, the anger and frustration. My 20's were about trying to have a bigger time than the night before, and I have very little to show for it but memories. Many good. But dim and growing dimmer.

When I first start studying Japanese, I listened to podcasts like Tokyo Calling. It was fascinating to listen to people living overseas talk about their daily experiences. Scott Lockman, the host, has discontinued his podcast a few times, often to revive it for brief periods with differing formats. Because I like the guy, I kept my subscription to his podcast going all these years, but recently he announced he was letting the domain expire. It was kind of sad to hear.
先週この会社に入ってだんだんなれているけどストレスのせいで寝られないときもある。今は超疲れた。まだ月曜日だな。
It was a beautiful cool morning. I walked over to the Gold Coast, by all the beautiful homes and into a park where every bench was home to a sleeping man and his piles and piles of rags and newspapers. The moon was high in the sky, even at almost noon,trying to act as if it belonged there. The day appealed to me to forget about tomorrow. And to turn over my fear.
I am comfortable back studying with my old methods and my old book. I started a new job this week, so I fit it in where I could. I haven't had a "9-5 in an office" job in, oh, about 10 years, so it is taking some adapting.
