Listen to this 2004

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of sitting in my friend Kevin's living room and listening to the exclusive preview salon of a show which will be opening in a few weeks called The Bright River.

I heard something I've never heard before: a flutist beatboxer.

Tim Barsky is absofuckinglutely amazing. He is to musical skill what Cirque du Soleil is to physical skill.

Listen to this.

That's just him and a flute. Real time. There are no other musicians. No looping. No tricks other than his talent.

I might not have believed it if I hadn't watched him do it without a microphone right in front of me.

Watch.

Plus he's a storyteller and ya know how I feel about stories.

I have a ticket to the preview. I'm betting I'll be posting again about how you must not miss this show and that I won't be the only place you'll hear that.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
