7-27-10

18" depth jumps 3x5- first two sets was getting 26", did 5 or 6 rvj's got up to 31.5". Last set of dj's were 26.5-27.5", felt good, forceful in a good way. Did some more rvj's after last set, got up to 33"- pr on vertec, then topped out at 33.5". Jumps were really good, felt float. 33.5" = 10'3 touch

squat: 135x5 185x3 225x1 255x1 MSEM: 285x1 295x1 295x.5- pinned. Weight felt heavy again like last time idk wtf, not too worried about it, will rest for a few days then next squat workout should be good.

well yeah, but not in some kind of structured appreciative way.. I don't just put music on, listen to it, and appreciate all of the subtleties about it. I have my own style I guess, I like to listen to classical when I'm training, walking, etc.

I think it helped me gain a respect for alot of music that my generation doesn't normally have any interest in, that's for sure.. My dad is big into jazz but I'm more into blues. I don't like brass instruments for the most part, I really hate saxophones with a passion, I think they turn every song into some kind of elevator music love song. Trumpets I can stand if it's something like miles davis, but it has to go hard.

My favorite instrument has to be violin.. I am obsessed with violin.. Most of my classical songs on my ipod are heavily violin based. I don't really know the names to any songs, hardly any rap songs either, I just listen to stuff and know it by feel.. When I played piano, I memorized each song I had to play and never read the music after that, so I guess that's how that works. My dad had taught me piano for years growing up until about 12 or so, but you know how that goes when you're a kid that wants to go hoop it up rather than play piano, didn't end good, he finally let me just do my own thing.

He'd be surprised though if he knew how much I listen to classical and stuff like that.. he just thinks I listen to rap heh.. He doesn't have much of an appreciation for rap, which is odd, considering most people into "the arts" lack an appreciation for jazz, especially the older generations, like my grandpa etc.. Rap is a child of jazz, and plenty of rap is still directly rooted in jazz.

If you're into jazz, this is actually a CD made for his friend who was killed by a bouncer, some bass guitar legend Jaco Pastorius:

http://www.adarq.org/forum/music-and-sheet/jazz/

It's just piano, drums, and bass guitar... some of it hits pretty hard it's cool.. mostly all improvised i guess too, even though they had a general idea of what they were going to play..

Hey there,

I checked that stuff out a while ago after you posted it and I thought it was damn good!

I also just realized that Patitucci is playing the bass there and now I feel pretty dumb not to know your father *lol*. Listening to it back then I did not even realize it was your father playing piano there, I misread and thought it was a friend of your family or something. I can't believe your father knew Jaco Pastorius, too, that's insane! You realize how much of a legend Jaco is in the bass and jazz community, do you? The internet makes the world a small place indeed... Really cool music!

damn, perhaps though you might have developed less of a taste had you not found it for yourself! you never know..

maybe I will start a violin thread eventually, and put some really intense violin solos in there

peace man

I agree on the finding it yourself part! That's a huge thing and I guess I was too dumb then to find an interest in music earlier, haha. You should definitely start that thread about violin music!

Best regards,
s-m
