Sideways by The Musashi Trio

The Musashi Trio: Cause and Effect pt1 -Sideways

The world has indeed gone sideways. I am reminded every day by the headlines I see via computer, TV, Radio, phone, newspaper, magazines... it is unavoidable. And we the people of the world are overwhelmed with this abundance of negativity.

The Musashi Trio is supporting the ranks of people who want to do something about it. They say the pen is mightier than the sword, I say the music penetrates the soul faster than either of them. With this understanding, it is inevitable, the path in which I must follow.

The newer generations are faced with more information than any generation before us. I find it necessary to pass on the knowledge that my parents and grandparents have passed on to me. The attention span of most people in this technological era can be compared to a brick tossed in the pacific. Before all hope sinks to the bottom I intend to offer what strength and wisdom I have. And though you may be grown and educated, take a look at the younger generation

behind us who may be looking for a way to make some sense of this world. It is difficult to not sound pedantic...so I turn to the music.

If this is something that makes sense to you, then you will understand why I write the songs I do. My cause is as common as any good persons cause. And we are putting our songs out there for an effect.

The Musashi Trio: Kens B day and Chop Bar Pig Roast review

The weather was perfect. The location was great. An amazing crowd showed up right on time and filled the Linden Street Brewery grounds. Chris from the Chop Bar knows about party planning. Ken, our bassist knows everybody. Add 4 roasted pigs, beer, wine and live music and it's a REAL LIVE party.

We started our first set at 5pm and some where in there we all sang Happy Birthday to Ken. The crowd was in a festive mood. Parents who brought their children were seen milling around the giant Bounce House. Kids hopping and bopping inside. At some point during our first set break, it started deflating. I don't know why, but all kids were removed from the Bounce House safely thank goodness. Someone must have unplugged it. Or maybe it was done intentionally. I don't really know. Luckily The Oakland Soft-Rock Choir was on stage doing their thing entertaining the masses.

Our second set included all songs form upcoming album "Sideways" and it turned out to be a crowd pleaser. You can always tell by how many people start pulling out their camera and video phones. It makes the band feel appreciated and even more juiced to perform. And everybody got in to it, man. And the women. (pause) Oh bless the women that come see us play. The fine assortment of women dancing was an amazing show in itself. I saw a couple of dudes snappin pics of just them. Don't blame them either. Good times. The sun started setting and I could feel its warmth like a spotlight in the sky as if to say, you have just torn the roof off the suckah. It was good times, I tell ya...

And we can't wait to do it again...soon!

Thank you everybody!

Yours truly
