Hey Ron, I'm guessing you know who Lale Larson is, right? Ever considered starting a project with him? Yeah yeah, I know, there are probably hundreds of musicians you'd want to do stuff with, but maybe Lale is high on the list? 
For those of you who don't know who he is, he's an outstanding pianist/keyboardist/composer and polyrhythmician (and Conlon Nancarrow nut) who's played fusion with Gary Willis, Sebastiaan Cornelissen, Richard Hallebeek and others; crazy cartoon music on ultra speed (Electrocution 250) with Todd Duane and the underappreciated drummer Peter Wildoer (Darkane); not to mention the Seven Deadly Pieces for Chamber Orchestra and Thrash Metal Band, which sounds like Zappa meets Varèse meets metal meets Shostakovich meets Keith Jarrett Trio (or something); and much more.

He's insane. In a good way. Oh, and check out the Marimba Flesheaters samples on the Projects page... that marimba player (Thomas Widlund) is just not from this world. It sounds sequenced. I didn't think it'd be physically possible to play that fast on a marimba... although the fastest stuff must be sequenced (the CD part)... I really hope it is. Please.
