The Bluesky account of The Wild Koba, the namesake of a ridiculous rock band from NYC. Music. Immigration Law. Baseball. Hockey. Texas barbecue. Opinions my own. A groove this funky is on the run!

This is freaking incredible
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Took a piano lesson yesterday with the excellent David Bennett Cohen. He made a lot of sense about playing the blues, but it made me realize how much I need to free up my left hand. I better get practicing!

Tonight I restrung a guitar for a student just before he performed at an honor society induction.
- Lefty gtr;
- Floyd Rose trem;
- borrowed tools;
- no work bench (stacked piles of paper to get heights and angles);
- on 3 hours sleep!
I think this is what they call a mitzvah.

Hilarious (but crushing) comment from one of my students upon seeing me in my fancy shmancy hat as I was leaving work yesterday:
"You look like a musician that peaked in his 40s."

The November pedalboard.
Silktone Fuzz > PastFx TD-Y > TC Thunderstorm Flanger > Nobels DEL-Mini > TC PolyTune 3 Mini.
The TCs stay on and I go back to fuzz central. This Silktone pedal is rad! TD-Y for a little boost. The rest to add colors as needed. Fun!

An English nobleman had to give up his diamonds and pearls when Epstein’s lady cab driver said he needed underage girls to get off when he used to partyup in 1999. But will this controversy be enough to make Donald the dove cry?

Here's D'Angelo doing a surprise set at Afropunk back in 2014. Mostly covers (Funkadelic, Prince, Fishbone, etc.), and it's all great.

So sad to hear about D’Angelo’s passing. Seriously, to hell with cancer.
