Silence

Music is as much about silence as it is noise. Silence is "0" and white noise at 170db is "10". It seems like more folks identify with Nigel when he says "But, these go to 11." Explore the range from "0"-"9". Please.

Christian Rock & Bar Brawls

So, back-tracking a little bit:

Back at the beginning of the month I was on a gig providing racks & stacks for a couple of dates with a christian rock band. The night after the first date in Wheeling, WV I had just settled into the first of my allotted four hours of sleep when I was awakened by the sound of gun shots and J running to the window. J made it to the window just in time to see a guy drop in the street right outside the hotel. Moments later not only had the police arrived but so had a crowd of 30-40 near fever pitch screaming at the police and one another, which was odd to say the least.

The next morning after chatting with the homeless guy at 7-Eleven, we learned that it had something to do with a debt, a bar, someone flashing a piece, someone else using a piece. Very detailed and conclusive.

I'm sure there is a lesson to be learned from this, I just don't know what it is.
