Progress is coming along just great on my new chart, Clinician's Blues for the @GuelphJazzSociety Big Band's first season. I'm writing some of my own stuff to suit the specific needs of my music making community.
This is some quality snark, the kind only a (fellow) page layout pedant can muster. They're right though, the default layout is pretty trash.

Large ensemble music has always been a passion for me, so it's my great pleasure to share that our inaugural season will be in the Winter of 2026! Check out the site for auditions, the goals, and getting involved.
I'm live prepping for the launch annoucement of the Guelph Jazz Society Big Band! Later learning some bari sax solos with the bow before an evening gig at St. Jacob's Market. www.twitch.tv/liamgiivmusic

Prep for upcoming duet gigs, some modern jazz and bowing technique stuff. Working on more detail in bowed passages, less sawing away.

These chuds can't see that the same systems that oppress women oppress them too. All they have left is to be the sharp end a of spear held by someone who doesn't care if they shatter on impact. It's not your fault, we just haven't reached them yet
We've never met, but I'm sure you're just fantastic
Would making deer get licences reduce seer deaths during hunting season? Or would you have to change the way deer and rifles relate to address that one?
Motorists kill cyclists, cyclists don't kill anyone. I took a peak at the historical collision data for Toronto, and since they started recording it in the 80s the number of fatalities caused by cyclists was 0.
"Obeying the rules" isn't good enough in a road system not designed for safety.

I might be a professional bassist, but I passed my Prep A piano exam last week. That's like grade -2 for those keeping score. It's never too late to be a beginner!
Those other pianists were pretty tough! Even if they were 8 years old...
