#DCmusic challenge #27: How to convince a star drummer like @AdamAshforth to take a last-minute gig on short notice when he already has a show the same night with @AlexVansmusic. [Hint: If you're @LittleWarTwins' rock star Gaetana, the pictured method can be highly effective.] So much talent on @BlackCatDC's stage it should come as no surprise it might spill out of one performance into another. The real beneficiary of all of Friday night's #BadBusiness wasn't stockholders but the audience who enjoyed inspiring performances from amazing @MargotMacDonald (moonlighting as birthday girl) all the way to frenetic Gaetana and her Little War Twins. No better return on investing a Friday night! https://www.facebook.com/events/610692439098342/ #AdamAshforth #drummer #AlexVans #AlexVansmusic #LittleWarTwins #Gaetana #BlackCatDC #DCphoto #NikonLife #BYThings #aCreativeDC (at Black Cat (Washington, D.C. nightclub))

Though I doubt that it all boils down to physics, I feel no impulsion to make sense of the world, the cosmos, by reference to any sort of sentient Supreme Being, nor to find evidence of the supernatural powers of jealous neighbors in the ebb and flow of my worldly fortunes. I do not talk to dead relatives and I do not fear the secret malice of the living. I have no fear of the envious inflicting wounds to the soul, nor salve for the scrapes I might find there. As far as I am concerned, there are no invisible forces or beings that shape the lives and destinies of the living, although I sometimes feel a sort of envy, a feeling of tone deafness, when witnessing others communicate with beings beyond my ken. I am free, too, of the fear that the invisible realms of which we humans are a part might not be an ethical order in which truth and justice prevail. And I’ve no need to wonder why God tolerates Evil in the world. I am thus spared the problem of identifying whether the invisible forces that are busily shaping our destinies are agents of Good or forces of Evil, and I never have to wrestle with the problem of interacting with such beings and entities in meaningful ways so as to bend their actions towards the best. I have no Sabbath to keep, and when I look to the heavens, I see only the sky.
