Both before and during Moreland Audio, Adam was in a band called Wislov. It consisted of Blake Williams (wi) Nat Slaughter (sl) and Adam Overton (ov.) trombone-keys/bass/drums. I remember them being on the Medeski/Martin/Wood tip at the beginning, but they evolved into miles/drumandbass craziness. What I'm posting here sounds kind of like they warmed up by smoking a joint soaked in Miles Davis's ass sweat (I still have no idea how to make my own last name possesive.) We have three tracks from a cd titled "Suite for Bibi Andersson" and dated 6/15/99 only since they were young artists they did it eurosteez (15.6.99.) I showed the picture from the cd to Karen and all she could say was "that sure is a big bass." Unfortunately, unless I buy a scanner you will never know the mass of Nat's instrument. Why only three tracks? Because Wislov was three cocksure young boys who liked to play twenty minute songs and I need a new hard drive.

Grammar books disagree on the use of apostrophe s ('s) with singular nouns that end with s. Apparently, however, the most current and persuasive argument is that any singular noun, regardless of ending, should have apostrophe s ('s) added to show possession. I agree with this thinking. In that case, if you are convinced or at least comforted by my brief exposition, you have spelled the possessive form of your (or rather, Miles's) name correctly.
Thank you for posting your material and knowledge.
When there is only one comment the post says "1 comments" and THAT bothers me! So here's another.
Linked to your blog from PS myspace. Anyway, Wislov was an awesome live band. I only saw them once at the Earl and I remember all sorts of wild waves of sound. The drummer was almost like watching Ligeti's son play. Who needs drum sticks anyway? Thanks for posting.
