Found the book for the class too.

Green pocket folder opened up to show music transcriptions

Cleaning house - came across this folder of music I transcribed from neumatic notation for a class in grad school. Also I think I’m just going to recycle it - haven’t looked at it or thought about it since completing the class.

Watching NASA’s live feed of the Integrity spacecraft executing its moon flyby with my NASA app running so I can track exactly where they are.

Love a Richard Scarry book.

As a music teacher, I face daily bafflement from students as to why they cannot just sound great without trying very hard. They absolutely do not understand the correlation.

We had to fight the system hard for years to keep my son in orchestra when he was struggling in other classes. Admin just assumed we would be ok with pulling him out of the only class he felt like he was good at and wanted to go to. Still get angry thinking about it.

Yeah I couldn’t figure It out either.

Whenever someone asks me why I chose teaching (usually in context of some kind of professional development workshopping) I always say “because health insurance.” It always gets a few snickers but I’m serious.

Good times!

SCIENCE.

So glad they are enjoying it!

E.T.
The Goonies
Jurassic Park
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Even if only for the Spielbergian references in other, later films.

Also, at the risk of being dragged into a galaxy of other mediocre and bad films, the Empire Strikes Back. Again, even if only for the pop culture references.

So rad.

Recently had occasion to update my performance resume. Been a while.

I, Robot

A single Duran would be a bit disappointing.

No.

Thanks for having a look!

Left my performing career behind a long time ago - the bass still feels like home, though.

Lots of handles in convenient locations.

When my Mooradian finally wore out my luthier sold me a Bobelock case. I have been pleased with it - padding is thick and firm, and everything about it feels heavy-duty. Very stiff and rugged.
