There are a great many places that will be talking about September 11, so I'll keep it brief. Suffice it to say we need to do our best to learn everything we can from what happened that day, and do all we can to see it never happens again.
I'll save my writeups on a couple books I've been reading until tomorrow.
The gig with Lis and Stolie tonight was great, except for the attendance. There were four people who came to see Lis, and one person whom Lisa and I invited. We were hoping for more, but it was still fun. We got to hear a good bit of Stolie's music, and she was great despite feeling congested. Lis and I played 30 or 40 minutes together, including a couple songs I'd never heard before. Playing jazz, I've had to develop an immunity to fear of playing new material on a gig. I don't know if it's fair to go so far as to say I prefer doing that, but I certainly like it. Lis and I have played together enough that it's not that hard.
26 states down, 24 to go. Her next stop is Anchorage, Alaska.
Stolie threatened to break Lis's record next year. We'll see. :-)
