oh mama, can this really be the end?

"oh, mama/can this really be the end?/ to be stuck inside of mobile/with the memphis blues again." (bob dylan)
to be in the wrong place, what a bummer. that's how i felt all those years in new york, in chicago, in ann arbor. for all its idiosyncracies and foibles, for me zürich is the town. i always missed it. amazingly, in 2010, i got to come back for good. and so it is that we've completed a wonderful studio and performance space here, by the lake, incorporating many things i've liked in studios and on stages in the u.s. and europe over the decades. it seems that we've built a better mousetrap. so this is now truly home, for the first time in my life. yet i will always also remain american in all things musical.
