First Rock concert
May 14, 1965 “Boss of the Bay,” KYA presents the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, Beau Brummels, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the Vejtables, at Civic Auditorium. San Francisco My parents took me to the concert and dropped me off, I went in alone. The Byrds were great, but with the stones, all I could hear was screaming kids. I wanted to listen to the music. Things haven't changed that much I still want to listen to the music. June 24, 1967 The second concert I went to 1967. A Fact, But on the night I went Opening for Jefferson Air planer was Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin Opening for Jimi. Grace had a sore throat or something. I went on a Friday or Saturday. Saw Pigpen there, It was a magical evening and Jimi was fantastic…. But so was everything. Janis was 1000% present, and everyone was present. It was my introduction to what a total sensory experience could be....

The beauty of found music.
I had jury duty today but wasn't selected, I went out to get on my bike to ride home and I heard this sweet sound, at first I thought it was an outdoor speaker with some kind of ambient tune playing, no speaker that I could see. So now my curiosity is piqued. next to the bike was a concrete pylon and a one-way street sign. A strong wind was blowing from the north and because of the way the sign was constructed and placed it made a soft gentle modulated whistle as the wind blew past the fasteners, pole, and sign. It was sublime. I think John Cage would have swooned. but I didn't have a recorder, so I stayed a bit and enjoyed the music. Below is a print i just completed. A new series in the making.

We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability— and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually—let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspen...
