November 24, 2005 - Intersection of Grand Ave. and Englewood St. That's a piano store on the corner. It used to be a small, local music store called Gilsonite, and it was a few doors down from the corner, but it was bought out and expanded. I think the only thing I still have that I bought at that store is an Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus box. The same one Kurt Cobain used on "Come As You Are" (really, I dialed it up once and it was the exact effect), and can be seen in the liner note photos of their "In Utero" CD.
Palisade Avenue. This is a view of my high school which just built this extension to the theater building. Being a theater/orchestra geek playing string bass, I spent a lot of time there. I wonder what the extension is.
Palisade Avenue. Driving up the cliffs of Englewood Cliffs. It's not terribly steep, all the streets that go up to the cliffs area are pretty straight, and I didn't know what switchbacks were until I got to California. It was a "big hill" even to walk when I was growing up here, but now, on a bike, it's barely a challenge. It's a challenge if I'm dehyrated and hadn't eaten and it's 110 degrees.

now that's just weird! ;) "Come As You Are" is pretty easy to play, but how he sings and plays it at the same time is quite a feat.
