When fojimoto played the Hotel Utah last, Peter Zarling, was in the audience and like many of the crowds to see live music do... left before the end of a set. I can't expect everyone to want to rock and roll all night and party every day, as is the want of such persons as myself. Instead, I chill. I try to take shit like this in stride and let everyone go about they own pace. I gotsta lets em take it how it comes, you dig? You gotta git when its time to get. thats all they is to it. So, I waved to my man from behind the drum kits and reckon I'll see him another time.
The next day, he sent me an email:
"That was a great show last night, man....I'm sorry I didn't get to
stick around and chit chat after, but I had an early meeting and had to get
some sleep...
What a show, though! Some of my favorite moments:
1) The little bit of Beasties....Always a good thing, but very
unexpected.
2) Marwan's alternate guitar riffs....It's always nice to hear
something different in a song...If I just wanted the straight performance, I'd
listen to the CD....Nice to hear it mixed up a little.
3) Having people come onto the stage to sing the last song...I wanted
to come up and sing myself, but since I can't sing shit, I thought it
best to leave it to the experts....
4) The improvisation while Marwan re-tuned his guitar....All 3 of you
have good chemistry.
Keep on, keepin' on, man. I ain't
just sayin' it...I think it's some quality music.


Cheers,
--Peter
