"music"
I haven’t posted much lately, partly because not much has been going on that would be interesting to write about, and partly because I’m probably going to shut the blog down and rethink it. I may not, also; I may work on something in the background and the “flip the switch” when the new project [...]
I decided to stop playing music round about Thanksgiving. Haven’t done a gig, rehearsal, jam session, or hardly touched an instrument since then. Regrets? Second thoughts? Refinements?
I’m halfway through quitting music, or playing music live to be more precise. Phase one is saying no to anything new; my current relationship with music – not good – is largely a byproduct of taking chances with strangers that haven’t worked out, so I’m taking a step back from that. I know I’m on [...]
I just finished Week 1 of my Super Busy Period™ and survived. It’s been so busy I haven’t had time to quite stress about any of it, and now that I have a minute to breathe, I’ve done a little math so I can quantify my relationship to it, the numbers tell stories.
I’m not sure what sort of metaphysical dynamics are involved, but I’ve gone from almost no music involvement to a temporarily crushing workload. Pretty amazing. I’m not sure why music, of all things, tends to be like that for me – it’s like an on or off switch and very few shades of gray in [...]
I’m a reluctant engineer. I studied classical piano, composition, and jazz when I was in school, and I used to chart most of my music by hand even when I had great software available, some kind of latent Luddite tendency that I still have. I’ve always loved keyboards and midi and computers, but only very [...]
I don’t really get complimented much on music, ever. Which is fine, I’m not fishing for anything, and I sort of walked away from the compliment-drawing world when I moved toward being a jazz musician anyway. Heh…
Just read one of the nicer things I’ve seen written about me on Peter Breslin’s blog, Stochasiticactus, [...]
I got back from Alaska last Monday evening, the trip was great. The music went well, I loved travelling with everyone I was with.
After our first gig, a guy came up to me, Larry Mitchell and Howard Cloud. I’m 6’0″ and the shortest of the group, and the guy says, “First, I’d like to [...]
I had a rehearsal in Albuquerque, the first with Joy Harjo and her band, and it was fun. As I was picking up my last load of equipment, I hopped up the low stage, maybe 2 and a half feet, but I didn’t see the lip around the bottom. My sandal caught under the lip, [...]
I had to drive to Albuquerque last night to pick up a guest from the airport. Wife is always a madwoman before we have guests, and my charge was to occupy our daughter. There wasn’t anything on TV, it was getting too dark to play outside, we were both tired of the ball and were [...]
