I was on a much-needed vacation with my wife in San Francisco and Sonoma, CA. I had considered prepping something before we left to be published while away, but then I would have had to have logged in regardless to pimp the new post via social media. I decided it would be better to just stay offline and away from a computer as much as possible. And it was well worth it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A couple of things worth mentioning here happened last Tuesday (the usual day for MTH-V posts), which made me laugh. The first actually had to do with my recent MTH-V <a title=\"MTH-V: GD\u2019s \u201cShakedown Street\u201d Live\" href=\"http:\/\/michaelteager.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/20\/mth-v-gds-shakedown-street-live\/\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a> on the Grateful Dead. We were hanging out in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Haight-Ashbury\" target=\"_blank\">Haight-Ashbury<\/a> district and found the famed <a href=\"http:\/\/sanfrancisco.about.com\/od\/neighborhoodprofiles\/ig\/Haight-Ashbury-Photos\/gratefuldeadhouse.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Grateful Dead House<\/a>.

There are few things I love more than browsing through and shopping at a great independent record store. I walked out with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Skala-Matthias-Eick\/dp\/B004J21H6G\" target=\"_blank\">Skala<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Haydn-Seven-Words-Franz-Joseph\/dp\/B00005AX5V\" target=\"_blank\">The Seven Words<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/British-Composers-Nyman-Concertos-Michael\/dp\/B005DRPI9I\" target=\"_blank\">Nyman: Concertos<\/a><\/em>, and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Harmonious-Breath-Works-Saxophone-Delangle\/dp\/B004YDVNSM\" target=\"_blank\">Harmonious Breath<\/a><\/em>. Lovely. (Of course two of the four are ECM titles&#8230;) The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelnyman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nyman<\/a> disc has been on my &#8220;must buy&#8221; list for years, and this was the first instance in which I&#8217;ve seen a new hard copy for sale in a store. I could&#8217;ve purchased it via Amazon years ago, but I much prefer &#8220;the hunt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was refreshing to get away from the horns, computers, and all work\/responsibilities for a week.
