I really enjoyed Preserving and Protecting the Frank Zappa Archives with Joe Travers and Gail Zappa of the Zappa Family Trust. Joe and Gail talked about Frank’s massive creative output, and their work in saving everything for future generations.
Nothing could be finer than to be in California in the springtime.
Two old friends from AIR Studios on Oxford Street, London, find themselves having a pleasant afternoon at Rancho Park, in the Cheviot Hills of West Los Angeles, 20 years later. Who would have thought?

I was listening to a new mix that Junya had just finished for Nick Wood‘s new album when the 8.9 earthquake struck North Eastern Japan last evening Los Angeles time. Although we lost contact for quite a while, I stayed awake to make sure that everyone was alright at Syn. By 3 AM I went bed after a Skype chat with Junya assured me everyone was safe. I don’t know if he was able to get home because transportation had stopped, but Nick was able to drive home, although I have not heard from him today.
I can only hope and pray for everyone effected by this extreme event. All of us in Los Angeles are feeling extra uneasy as we have increased fear and thoughts of our own future quakes.
