Zone of Transformation

Did you know there is a Zone of Transformation in Sacramento, California? There really is. It's about a 10 yard sluice of concrete with an etching of Edward Hubbell on one side of it, with a golden orb at the other end of the monument. It's called the Zone of Transformation and I'm not going to argue with that. I like it, actually. Hopefully it's a harbinger of things to come on this blog.

I started writing this a few days after releasing my solo cd and realizing that myspace is just too in your face commercial for me. This cd is a professional jazz creation, and it came about while juggling a lot of blood, sweat, and tears at a day job, and I don't want to reduce my desire to share it with the world to a billboard on myspace.

I'd like to get to know whoever else can be found in this community, maybe someday hear something about the cd. But if I just hear from any other artist who doesn't earn a living at his or her art, that'd be cool with me. This will also force me to become more technologically aware. I'm celebrating my 50th birthday this year, and I think the best way to do it is by learning something new about the world. Something new has got to be digital possibilities. Enough to last me another 50 years.
