I made a thai cucumber salad, too, and it was delicious but involved something like a half cup of sugar in the marinade, so I’m going to explore ways to lighten that up. I suppose there’s always SPLENDA. Ugh.

and hey...

Monk said ‘There is no wrong note, it has to do with how you resolve it’. He almost sounded like a kid taking piano lessons. I could relate to that when I first started playing the piano, because he was decomposing the music while he was playing it. It was like demystifying the sound, because there is a certain veneer to jazz and to any music, after a while it gets traffic rules, and the music takes a backseat to the rules. It’s like aerial photography, telling you that this is how we do it. That happens in folk music too. Try playing with a bluegrass group and introducing new ideas. Forget about it. They look at you like you’re a communist.
