4. NAMM. I was There. I arrived at my hotel room, and found my roommate, Jim Cara, had already arrived. I told him about my having sat next to Awad, thinking he'd love signed books the story. But his airplane story was better--sort of a "Dear Penthouse Forum, I signed books never thought this would happen to me" story. Part of the fun was that Jim, married, acted the perfect gentleman throughout his adventure. So I got really mad at him for beating my story, and that became our running gag. "...and The Forum team is still just a signed books little bit out front--but wait! What's this? Out of Nowhere, The Nubians Score!!!" Every month, the back page of Music and Computers magazine (published by Miller-Freeman) features a photo of me in The Ugly Suit, with a few paragraphs of crackpot philosophy, which I narrate in about an hour every month to editor Dave Battino. Dave edits it brilliantly (modest guy--he says he just "takes out the 'um's'"), and the column has gained a bit of a following among computer-oriented musicians.
