Pine Island Station ‘Catfish John’ at KUHT 2-4-04
Pine Island Station had bookings last year so I guess they are still in the game. I felt bad about the promises that were made to them about getting on ACL as a result of this performance. I don’t believe anybody ever got a door opened at ACL because of this work. This effort was…

Clouseaux ‘Where Are We Now?’ at KUHT 3-27-03
Clouseaux made me have hope for all the talented well trained music scholars that pour out of American universities. What does one do with all that musical muscle? Mix it with gin and an olive with just a whiff of Vermouth. I didn’t know what to expect, but when they showed up without any PA…
