god bless andrew hill

he is a great musician and composer

and gave the world so much

he has shed this mortal experience and gone on to something beautiful

and us here still still get to listen to his great records and feel 

the magic

we are finishing up our australian new zealand tour here

it has been fun and fun

i have been digging jamming deep in the pocket with my buddies and 

getting way into the groove

there have been some great feelings of togetherness with the people

and i got to play my trumpet alot

and be with my completely rocking wife and genius baby the whole time

and josh  played with us and did great and was a happy thing all the 

way around

and we got to play with har mar superstar

who managed along with his band of tony on bass and fab on drums to 

completely rock the party every night

with gusto

while still being humble and fun despite that there were nights when 

closed minded individuals didnt want to party with them

because some people need the radio and television to tell them that 

it is ok first before they party

but nonetheless the party was being rocked

and they were a total pleasure to tour with

we play our last show of it tonight in auckland

i really wanna come back here when i am not busy playing concerts

and get around this place and get inside the nature

and stroll the roll of greenery that i have seen pictures of

love and good will to all

and that doesnt leave out anyone

especially all the great drag queens in hollywood
