On my way to Stony Brook (Long Island) to give a presentation on some Billy Joel (@billyjoel) recording sessions. If you know me at all, you know Billy’s been a lifelong influence on me. I’m thrilled to participate at the @LIMEHOF along with director Tom Needham, my friend Dave Rosenthal, and many others.

A gorgeous evening last night with the LA Master Chorale under the direction of Grant Gershon. I love hearing new and unexpected directions.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

AI is almost completely funded by private investment. Taxing it misses the point. How about just making sure it follows the rules of not allowing theft of intellectual property?
AI is trained on human creativity and intelligence, funded by federal research using taxpayer dollars, and powered by data centers built on American land. The success of AI should belong to all of us. It’s time to tax AI and invest in people.

Meeting choral composer/arranger legend Roger Emerson, 2026. 2nd slide: playing my first Roger Emerson, c. 1987. What an energy of musical enthusiasm. Roger, it was lovely getting to say hello and talk shop after so many years!

Does anyone know who makes an ultra simple pocket sized audio recorder that accepts 1/8in lapel mic input, has a rechargeable battery, and records to micro SD or equivalent?

Seems like really simple tech but I can’t find any economical versions of this.

Brilliance on genAI from El Estepario Siberiano on TikTok. Wait for the punch line at the end. (Original link: tiktok.com/@elestepariosiber…)

Sh-Boom (Life Could Be a Dream). Maybe the best song from the Clue soundtrack. Now available for TTBB vocal groups a cappella @SheetMusicDir and Sheet Music Plus.

No greater joy than making music with fabulous performers. This was a choral writing clinic hosted by @The_SCL and expertly led by Fletcher Sheridan and moderated by Esin Aydingoz. Writing choral music is a unique skill and unlike any other type of writing. Fletcher and his band of 30 LA singers did some amazing stuff.

Why can't Apple kill iTunes? Even though they want to. I'm fascinated with the transition from music purchasing (ITMS) to streaming (Apple Music and Spotify) but it's left us in quite a weird place. I explore that a bit: youtu.be/xC2IpEZjtcE

Describing things to a robot is not a skill. The idea that you'll get "left behind" because you know how to do your own thinking and problem solving is ludicrous.
