   It will be interesting if Jake and Eric perform a duo together, one in ukulele and another in his Les Paul.

   Pretty impressive performance. I normally think of the “yuke” as the butt of jokes, even among musicians, but it was amazing to hear the sounds that can be pulled out of it by a pro.

   Hi guys,

   Eugene, that would be something to hear indeed. I think Clapton only plays the Strat these days, though.

   Kevin, I’ve been around enough great musicians to know that there are people who can make music with anything.

   Got any use for someone who plays kick-ass cello? My little brother Sean (not so little anymore) is a professional cellist, and he’d LOVE to break into the NY scene somehow, someway. I’m just throwing this out there… haven’t discussed it with him.

   Sean’s big thing is chamber music (he’s done orchestra and other formats, of course), and he stays close to classical when playing cello, but his listening preferences seem to gravitate more toward rap (think “Wu Tang Clan” and “Beenie Man”) and electronica (think Bjork). Sean told me he’s good with improv on the piano, but doesn’t do much improv on cello. I bet he could, though; he’s very adaptable. I wonder how he’d do, jamming in an unconventional group.

   Again, this is purely “big brother looking out for little brother” stuff, so no pressure; just curious to know what opportunities might be out there. In fact, I’m not sure why I haven’t asked you about this earlier.
