I think I need to post a listing somewhere that says “WILL TRADE DRUM LESSONS FOR VIDEO EDITING LESSONS” … It’s such an incredible field to work in.

Ella Fitzgerald performing at the New York nightclub Downbeat 1948. Watching are Duke Ellington, center, and Benny Goodman in glasses behind Ellington.

Love this photo and article in the NYTIMES today. Just bought and gifted this box set. It’s some of the most exciting Ella I’ve heard in a long time.
At the White House tonight for Obama’s first State Dinner. While I will not be seated, it’s an honor just to witness this momentous event. More to come.

Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Some friends and I had a little oyster/truffle party this past Saturday … a little decadent perhaps, but worth every buck & shuck.

From the movie, "Mayur and Me"
It was a warm and delightful November evening when friends and strangers brought their best selection of sides to go along with our warm host’s wonderful turkey, gravy and stuffing for what would be a delightful preview to the holiday ahead.
N&M did an amazing job as hosts last eve. Many thanks to them, and hopefully today’s leftovers do not put me back into a turkey coma!
