Chicago jazz video excerpt

A long time ago...well, back in 1999 I performed in a celebration of Chicago jazz lead by Paul Wertico. It featured: Tom Gullion (saxophones), John Moulder (guitar), Harrison Bankhead (bass) and Paul Wertico, Kahil El Zabar, Hamid Drake, Alejo Poveda and Ed Harrison (percussion). Here's my tune Ting Jing from the video:

Reverse blogging

Out here in the Blogosphere, there's a flurry of activity. I see a ton of hits at my blog site but few comments. People are reading but it's interesting that there's not much interaction. Certainly we're all busy and few have spare time to drop comments at each site they visit.

It makes me wonder if we don't have this whole blog thing exactly backwards. Wouldn't it be more interesting for readers to ask questions to guide the writer? It might save a lot of wasted, worthless blog posts which nobody reads.

Until I find the time to write the "Reverse Blog," can you offer some questions here? I'll create posts to answer or respond to them manually for now. If it's a good idea, I'll work on a software solution.

Thanks and bring on the questions!
Tom
