CUE THE HAIR-FLIP I caught Maya West and friends Sunday afternoon at Stanford student union coffee house aka CoHo; when they broke out Norah Jones “I Don’t Know Why I Didn’t Come” I texted a clip to Jesse Harris. He “liked” it back a few hours later. Not sure that finishes the game: it was fourth time I tried that.
I went to confirm and celebrate the removal of the sophomoric pro-terror anti-Israel and antisemitic tent installation. I played my version of Elton John on the found piano. Maya’s was better. I checked out the end of baseball vs Fullerton — sat next to 6’3” co-term Volleyball NCAA champion Caitie Baird from IN and her cutie a former baseballer named Barrera.
My piano series goes on sale Tuesday tomorrow for April 1-8 at the pitch or Mitch with Ethan Iverson (stylized as EIght SHOWS), Marta Sanchez, Tammy Hall, Dick Fregulia, Dick Conti, Motoko Honda, Will Bernard Freelance Subversives (and perversely built around guitar), Myra Melford with Ben Goldberg, Edward Simon and Murry Low with and with my favorite Stanford undergrad underground musician Rabiah Kabir on flute. (Rabiah also appears in Murry’s Latin big band March 9, and with Cien Mil Mangoes for Earthwise April 18).
EIght PART PIANO SERIOUS which is a Ring Lardner reference
