About Me


Listen to what Blancolate has to say about Satish:
"Satish is an amazing guy. No matter what he wears it always looks cool when he is playing the "Firebird".
He is like the "Kramer" (from Seinfield) of the trumpet world. I am sure there is a starving artist painting a portrait of him as we read this.
He is also well known for performing his best during intermissions, pictures and silent movies.
Satish used to practice 12 hours a day when I first met him a decade ago. Nowadays he just walks around in a daze with his firebird saying to anyone that will listen "Do you know how much my firebird is worth today? They just sold one on Ebay for $XXXXX". He is still recovering from the last Ebay auction.
He knows he is always in my heart."

Brussels

After a rather rushed train ride and a really heavily MSG-laced Chinese fast food mistake ... err ... meal, we're in Brussels. Tony found a great deal on a 5-star hotel, so we're living in luxurious a...

European women

I've been doing a non-scientific study of the women I've observed in the 3 European countries I've been to on this trip. In Holland, obviously, you've got mostly Dutch girls. And since I'm not even in...

The greatest sounding natural reverb in the world

is a 12'x11' bare concrete room in Enshede, Holland. Seriously. I just pulled out the horn to blow a bit last night, and even with a mute in, it made me sound like I was in Carnegie Hall. No joke. No...

at the airport waiting for my flight

Strange and scary dream

So I had this dream last night. Nothing at all like Dr. MLK's dream. It was one of those "so realistic you wake up and wonder if it actually happened" dreams. I was in bed, got up in the middle of the...
