Breaking my Twitter silence to tell everyone never to fly with @AmericanAir .
Among other issues, they shipped my luggage, but it's delayed and now at the airport I flew from.
AND they still have my bass at O'Hare. I've sent screenshots of the airtag location, but still nothing.
Final update: The bass was delivered today and my luggage yesterday.
Avoid @AmericanAir . @FedExHelp customer service should have a division that trains other companies. @SKBCases are tanks and worth the money if you're flying.
Replying to @AdamHammerMusic @AmericanAir
Update: @FedExHelp immediately jumped in and not only added a support ticket, but hunted down my luggage and called me with an update.
I still just receive automated copy-and-paste responses from @AmericanAir for my bass.

Moral of the story, don't fly @AmericanAir
Replying to @AdamHammerMusic @AmericanAir
I've had two reps actually help, but ultimately, I'm just being told to wait. Meanwhile, I have no clothes, toiletries, or instrument. This is all after an 8 hour delay, followed by waiting at baggage claim for 5 hours. The luggage ended up staying on the plane for another hour.

Fun fact: Everlong by @foofighters is an excellent tune to play at weddings when arranged for cello/piano 🎶
Breaking my unintentional Twitter silence to say that I saw a pigeon have a panic attack today and I've never related to an animal so much.

Going into the new year, I found myself in a very weird headspace, but I knew there were two things I wanted to do for myself: to stream more, and to practice more pieces I *wanted* to practice, not just what was required.
Tonight @ 8pm, I do both at the same time. Link below!⬇️

Remembering Nina Simone, born on this day in 1933 in North Carolina. Here she is playing “Sound of Silence” during a trip to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1968.
Oh hey that's me
