LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

Love of Life Orchestra, Tonight

Via Ned Sublette:

I am playing this Wednesday, June 5, at 8 p.m. at Roulette in Brooklyn as an orchestral guitarslinger in Peter Gordon’s Love of Life Orchestra -- approximately the thirty-second anniversary of when I first played with this fine ensemble (during The Kitchen's Aluminum Nights extravaganza, at the extraordinary venue that was Bond International Casino.)
This concert will be the premiere of Gordon’s Symphony #5, and what a band we have this time around:
>Paul Shapiro, saxes / Katie Porter, clarinets / Peter Zummo, trombone / Max Gordon, trumpet / Elio Villafranca, piano / Ned Sublette, guitar / Randy Gun, guitar / Yunior Terry, bass / Robby Ameen, drums / Bill Ruyle, percussion / Peter Gordon, sax, organ, synth / Video by Kit Fitzgerald.
The auditorium at Roulette is a wonderful-sounding room, a joy to play music in. There's an interview with Peter Gordon about the piece on the Roulette blog, and a Facebook event page here. Tickets are reasonable. Y’all come.
