Gutted to hear @jim_rutt passed away. His writing and conversations left a deep mark on me and so many others. Loved his honesty, intellect, and wicked sense of humor--"when I hear the word 'metaphysics', I reach for my pistol". Rest In Peace maestro.
I had his number in my wallet for years.. too afraid to pick up the phone. When I did, he was as gruff and curt as I was told he could be. I was happy to have at least heard his voice. I never got a lesson. I just listened to Donny Hathaway live on repeat...
@REALDJPREMIER So easy to build a boombox nowadays. Start with a kit if you're intimidated. Grab an ammo can or a suitcase.... There's also still plenty of old blasters easy to clean up... barrier of entry is low.
@telefontelaviv Once again, these are the kind of soulless people who take no joy in the process. βCooking is so hard. You have to taste things, and pans are too expensive..β
