Ask Madden

yo yo....well i can't even describe in words how much i had last nite. Me vincent Jofi and Jenny went to a restaurant/cafe place in Pawling, Ny, to see the Vivino Brothers Band, which 3 of the members (Jerry the sax/flute/clarinet player, Jimmy the guitarist and Mike the bassist) play in the Max Weinberg 7 on Conan's show. The show was awesome, i cant even desribe how awesome they were. Watching just how they worked off each other really makes you beleive that their ears are like mutant powers or something. its just so amazing. During one song in the middle they went into the Austin Powers theme(jerry played the piccolo) it was real cool. at one point jimmy and the keyboardist both played the piano at the same time and that was really cool. but the best part was during a song Jerry played a tenor sax and soprano sax AT THE SAME TIME! and he was solo-ing all over the place with both, it was soooo cool.
After the show we talked to Jerry beccause while i was outisde jenny told him how much a fan i was, we chatted and we told him how we are students of Mike Roth(he lives around the corner from him) and it turns out Jerry's father in law (who we also met) was Mr roth's teacher. He said to us "i'm your teacher's teacher!" he was really nice.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the best concert i've seen.

On another note, winter break has been kind of dishearting. there were so many things i had planned to do and people i had plan to see before winter break and i accomplished just about none of them, and tuesday is not enough time to do it all.
