LeRoi Moore dead at 46

It’s been a number of years since I’ve toured with the Dave Matthews Band. However, I still remain a loyal fan and the band surely had an impact on my life and music interests/aspirations. My saxophone just might be put to rest indefinitely.

“LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. Moore had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.”

The first day of the rest of my life

Well, a suppose this is a glimpse into the future and past. Yesterday we did a soft-launch of Zigabid.com so that is an ounce of stress that has been lifted. It is a strange feeling, I thrive off creation and previously at Juxt Interactive and Go Farm we released multiple projects each year, however Zigabid was a 19-month creation.

As far as the past goes, I re-connected with a old friend last night… It was insightful, I realized that not only do I have a love for music, but I have also have a knack for collecting rare and odd tunes that play a role in my life. I believe I first heard Scatman in a club in Asia or the Middle East in the early 90’s. Cheers.

Coldplay Opening Night and The Getty

So, for all folks who believe work limits my personal life, you are probably correct. However, I did make an exception. I took Monday off, to visit the Getty which probably requires 3-5 visits to view the entire campus of the museum and its grounds. However, this was just a build up for my reunion with my love for music. Coldplay, isn’t quite U2 yet — but they are well on their way. This Monday marked the beginning of the Coldplay tour in Los Angeles. Due to the unique layout of their stage it was difficult to snap a shot, but below you can see a glance of the band and of the Getty which hosts probably the best views of LA.

Unlimited Sunshine, Have your cake and eat it too.

Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing cake at the Orpheum in Los Angeles. My good pal Victor celebrated his last day at Juxt Interactive so we thought it would be a good way to celebrate new beginnings. I have to say the acoustics and sound at the venue was by far the best I’ve heard in years. If you haven’t picked up their latest release of B-Sides do so, and catch the Unlimited Sunshine tour in a town near you.
