just a little, i’m putting things together. forgive me for being purposefully vague. the last person to do what i do on my instrument, which i cannot yet own because it costs as much as a house in the statesian midwest, did what she did in 1979. almost no one knows her name because it’s a very obscure musical instrument. you only know her name if you play the instrument. she has a technique named after her. i have a technique named after me. there are only two people with techniques named after them wrt this instrument. i got my technique named after me about ten, maybe fifteen years ago (covid fucked with my sense of time) when i was developing it with a guy named mark in utah. i wanted to call it the gimme, he named it after me and I didn’t quite get what an honor that was. then i saw my photo on the professional musicians association website last month. from the last convention i attended two decades ago. it’s blowing my mind. that’s about it.
Can you tell us more?
