One of my favorite passions is music. Half a dozen times a year, Susan and I go to the Dakota, a wonderful Jazz nightclub in downtown Minneapolis. I pay extra for A-Train seating, next to the stage. Last Monday we took our son in law and a friend and sat right next to the stage to watch Stanley Clarke and George Duke. Clarke is probably the best rock/jazz bass player around and I have been listening to him since 1978. It is a unique experience to see these “legends” perform from 10 feet away. The concert was wonderful! I need to get away from the computer and the pressure of the markets and this is a great way to do it – albeit if only for an evening.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures – no flash allowed and we had to use the camera in our iPhone.
The most important article today is from Jim Sinclair. He discusses deflation, which has not a snowball’s chance in Hell of toppling the system, and dismisses Martin Armstrong and his anti-gold views, without ever mentioning him by name:
David, started listening to Stanley Clarke (School Days) in high school 75-79 and George Duke at the same time. Both are two of my favorites, it must have been incredible to see that close in a small venue. Some things get better with age. Best to you and yours.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, it was an amazing concert with lots of stories shared with the audience.
