It's really true!  I did as promised yesterday and went out in the park 
for a 
couple hours with the wood flute (I can't really "play" the flute, just 
practice breathing tones through it - good general relaxation/feedback 
technique). I found a new corner  in the park, believe it or not I've 
lived 
here 2 years and Elysian Park is so huge I haven't seen it all.

Later last night I actually felt capable of dealing with MIDI!!  I felt 
inspired to make   live drum loops on the ASR-X and have the sequencer 
(great 
sampler but lousy sequencer,) slave the JamMan. I could play bass into the 
Jammie synced to my real drum loops.  It was this whole theoretical idea 
that 
I knew I could do but for months my mind didn't want to deal with hooking 
it 
up.  Of course, it was practically a no-brainer. Plus, somehow, I'm back 
on-topic!

Bottom line: a cool new groove - a foundation for a new song. Guess what? 
It's 11:47am, another super-clear day in Los Angeles. I'm going out there 
again!
