Random Snippets From A Day In The Life
I got an email from a pal the other day that said the line of my song "well anyway, we're killing bees, with these, awkward silences" drifts into her head, once in a while, even these years later. Isn't that lovely? I remember having the tune reviewed back then at an SAC function, Neville Quinlan said "Who thinks of that?!" reading it aloud, so, I spoke up and explained it. Oh, those were the days lol.

Its true that I like to sing so much, I've learned to wear instruments. And that I got myself a job at a music shop so I could get paid, at least a little something, to learn about music... I wonder if I'm making any progress at all. I haven't written a song in ages, and I forgot to keep working on my voice and I worry if it will come back. I know I should take advantage of the invites to jam after work more often, especially with the multi-instrumentalist teacher who is keen to.
I got to make a noise on a trumpet the other day, along with all the kids checking out the brass instruments...
Lately everyday I try and "take a 15" to do something on the Casino, but I'm not plugging it in. I also do my C scale on the uke and G and C scale exercise on the piano at least, as well as singing to at least one mando song. I'm lucky there's not a u-bass in the store right now! I guess I should be practicing G Em Am Dm G on the uke or some instrument or other, in case it turns out that's how we do 500 Miles ha. I'm glad I'm allowed to do some promo for an upcoming bass clinic that I think I will actually attend.
And, I'm working on a New Horizons radio show that fits in nicely to the day job too...
By my best calculation, I have worked over 600 shifts to 9pm, essentially all in a row, excluding just a few vacation days and such. I am starting to really, really miss being a part of a choir or attending an open stage once in a while... so many things seems to start at 7 lately!
