So what's new?

[AllenLowe]

I have returned, like MacArthur (the general, not the award); I am relatively happy but a bit sidetracked by PTSD. But I am, hopefully, done with surgery (25 to date).

Not a lot new to report. Still annoying people. Trying to finish a film (long story in and of itself). Just did a really nice recording session in which Leo Wadada Smith played four tunes. Will be part of the soundtrack to the film.

Health is ok though not terrific. Tried to find Larry Kart, though I suspect, based on his prognosis and the fact that his phone no longer works, that he is permanently hospitalized, which makes me very sad.

All I do is compose and practice. Beats working for ICE.

I just recently revisited Really the Blues and Turn Me Loose White Man! Learned a lot. Thanks for your work on that! A friend called me an expert on roots music and I was so embarrassed after having worked my way through those 2 collections! He has no idea.
