I recently threw caution to the wind and decided to start asking fairly well known artists if they'd like to be interviewed for the Toronto-centric blog I contribute to. For the most part, I send out emails to artist contacts and then I hear nothing in reply.
But that's starting to change, because in 24 hours I'll be chatting up jazz guitar monster Charlie Hunter. If you're as yet unfamiliar with his mind-boggling prowess on the 7 & 8-string bass/guitar hybrids he's known for playing, check out his playing on youtube: link
anyway, i think i'll manage alright, although i get a little queasy when i think about it.
hope i can come up with something more intelligent to ask than "so, how do you do that thing where you play the two things at once & such?"

or how come jdg hasn't installed the Google toolbar with the spell check built into it?!?!
that always killed me about jazz gtr d00ds, especially when i was studying to be one -> "but i don't wanna sit down!"
but with him, he's doing so much i think he's actually in genuine danger of falling down if he tried to think about standing upright at the same time.

who wouldn't want a blast of searing hot resin? oh well ...
just got off the phone with Charlie - nice guy - i mentioned the disposable heroes record to find out he doesn't even have a copy of it.
nice guy though, very happy & good natured - got him laughing a couple of times - i'm going to try to make his show.
anyway, i'll post a link when i'm done with the article if anyone's interested.
