LOL Pups for your discerning feline friends.
“You’re Sarah Crisman from Twitter!”
If I had a dime. Seriously, Twitter, just one dime for every time someone recognizes me out in the world because they are familiar with @sarah_crisman and my twin flame, Snarky Puppy. It’s pretty awesome, actually. My Twitter feed is chock-full of wonderful people with clever ears from all over the world. No matter what city I find myself in — from Dallas to Montreal, Philly, NY, and everywhere in between — I get to meet these people every day. They are more of a blessing than they realize.
If you are one of my said followers (I love you), you have no doubt noticed my propensity for Pup-related Tweets. This is only partially my fault. I can’t help but ReTweet when another soul has fallen under the Snark. Having labored happily under this booty/brain spell for several years now, I feel a great responsibility to help you navigate (dizzy spells are to be expected). It’s okay to love this band that much. It’s completely natural to feel the overwhelming confusion of mind-blowing grooves and supernatural rhythm. Rest assured you have someone to talk to when your friends tell you to stop talking about Snarky Puppy — I will listen. And I’ll very likely RT you. Your support matters to me, it matters to the family, and it matters to the music.
I encourage this Twitter revolution. When the spirit moves and you just have to tell your Tweeps about how this music has taken hold, throw in the hashtag #PupCulture. I will feature this feed here on my blog, plus RT and conversate, and select a few each week of the tour to recap the Pup’s crawl across the US/Canada. You may even wind up in my book — your voice is important to this sound. Ya dig?
Without further adieu, may I introduce the Tweeps who inspired this wicked conversation. Follow them. They cool.

Now see what happens when a tune written on piano is played sans keys… 34 Klezma (written by Bill Laurance) played at Fat Tuesday’s (filmed by fonky YouTube User ChrisGotFunk).
