Music and magic and physics

I Listened to a podcast by Laurence Krauss, theoretical physicist, "The Origins Podcast", in which he was interviewing Penn Jillete, the magician, on half of Penn & Teller.
Penn also decided to study the bass, acoustic, upright, at the age of 46, and has become a rather good player.
In the interview they discussed music creation and the revelations that Penn went thru about music were "magic to my ears", so to speak.  It's worth a listen.
Peace

Steve seems to be happy with what we've got.  I think it makes a good album of 10 tracks.  Kind of makes me think of this place as "the little studio that could".

I need to get a second set of headphones for recording, but it's not immediately in the budget.  On this session we got by with one and a half headphones.  Really.
