this should be a summerland post

i know, i'm sorry i promised that this would be the finished post on summerland program notes. i'm not the type to be a slacker on anything, i have fallen behind translating them from boring academic leaning composer/musician speak to something a highly intellegent and well read blogosphere person can understand without gagging on their charles shaw wine and brie.

anyway, to fill the time until i get them done (and finish setting up all the promotion for the upcoming show) i have asked members of the ensemble to introduce themselves via the blog and my trusty camera phone. enjoy.

Hey there folks, it's Matt the bassist. So I'm here to introduce myself and I'm probably first because I'm the only lamer hanging out on the internet late enough to get Paul's late night emails....so on to the pertinent info.

name: matt menaged

occupation(s): nice guy bassist

training: mostly private study. chief among them a fine bassist by the name of Luther Hughes.

current projects: the p.b.e., sam sasso (blues guitarist) and panjive (calypso group) and i freelance

upcoming concerts: jan. 7th w/sam sasso at the coach house and again on feb 3rd at the laguna art walk and w/the p.b.e. at the cerritos center on jan. 19th (of course)

favorite performance: of my own? probably at the now defunct Bogarts in long beach w/an old rock band of mine in the 90s. lots of people, lots of energy. of someone else.....definitely Mr. Bungle at the Glass House in Pomona...i believe it was in 98.
what i do outside of music: go to hockey games, hang out with my son, play poker, try to check out other performances and films and such.

favorite movies: i'll just give some groups so i can get them all in. anything by kevin smith, stanley kubrick. let's not forget the blues bros., spinal tap, the princess bride and scarface :)

music currently listening to: hehe...oddly enough i just finished listening to marilyn manson and am currently listening to radiohead

favorite reading: anything poker related. also love howard zinn (amazing history author) and daniel quinn.

you moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing, do you smell the mountains or the burro: i don't know what this means. is it some sort of trombone thing?

schoernberg or stravinsky: STRAVINSKY!!!!!

glass or reich: reich

paper or plastic: how can i have an opinion on this....plastic just builds up in the landfills and doesn't bio-degrade. paper breaks down in landfills but we have to destroy rainforests.......what kind of decision is that? talk about painting me in a corner....sheesh!
