Yasmin Williams: Tiny Desk Concert YouTube video by NPR Music

Amazing. Reminds of John Butler’s Ocean or Martin Simpson’s Cool and Unusual album. But she has a smile and a style all her own. Love her playing.

I’m probably singing EIDGBF(FNO) for a recital next week.

I just found this funk feed and asked myself “is this a good feed for me?” Allen Toussaint as the first post that I saw, answered that question in the affirmative.

If I go daft hearing ghostly funk music, then I will die happy.

I just ordered it. I really didn’t think my Arendt and Wiesel and other college readings would be so directly relevant. I expected the immigration and LGBT actions but the blatant Palestine ethnic cleansing cheerleading still manages to catch my by surprise.

My instructor asked me to make a list of songs that have meaning to me and that have areas where I love my voice and are challenged by it. For me the challenge is breath support, power, enunciation and expression. I couldn’t get it to 10, but here’s my list: open.spotify.com/playlist/0jV...

Tomorrow, I start singing lessons for the first time ever at Cascade Voice Academy. My sax teacher is taking some months away, so this is the perfect time to try something new. My goal is still focused on the Bari, but this should help the path I am on with power and breath support.

Today Lynwood Community Band starts back up practicing for our Spring Concert in March. I’m very excited for that. I don’t know what we will be playing yet.

I am thinking the same way.
