About Me

Until I can find the time to add something about myself here, try my regular web site: Peter Kosenko
Here's a video of Alex Hebert improvising with me at the Kulak's Woodshed Christmas potluck. We had never played together before. Obviously, Alex had the harder part.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People interested in music, literature, philosophy . . .

However, if I have never met you and am not likely to recognize you from your profile, please send me a personal e-mail. After about three months here, I am beginning to get hit by CyberSlut profile "friend requests" (probably created by guys in boiler rooms who are trying to advertise pornography) that I have to deny and block. It's the Myspace version of porn spam and it ruins the whole idea of meeting people.

Television:

Why would I waste my time?

Intellectual Property Rights

A lawyer was walking down the street and saw a man digging a ditch. "You know, the other day I had the IDEA of digging a ditch."  So he turned to the ditch digger and said, "If you don't stop dig...

Dragster Barbie

Here's a curiosity.  I used to listen to Amy and her band "Dragster Barbie" at Anastasia's Asylum in the middle to late '90s.  The band no longer exists, but their signature song "...

Kulak's Woodshed is for the Dogs

I think last night may be the last time that I go to Kulak's Woodshed to perform at the open mike. I generally really like the place a lot and the ambiance and have gone to regular performances a...

Roland Dyens

By the way, the Roland Dyens concert at Loyola Marymount on Saturday was superb, one of the best guitar concerts I have gone to.  The arrangement of Jobim's "Felicidade" was worth the price of ad...

Alex de Grassi

I have been listening pretty closely to Alex de Grassi's "Street Waltz" on his "Southern Exposure" CD.  I am wondering if anyone knows whether there is any sheet music or guitar tablature for it....
