as music majors, i think we all go through a period of time (or most likely more than one period of time) when we question if we should really pursue music as a career. or maybe i'm the only one...
anyways, i'm listening to some music right now and feeling pretty damn good. i can't tell you what i'm listening to because some of you may disown me and pretend like you never met me before in your life. i love you all too much to allow that to happen. so i'll just say that i was searching through the depths of my hard drive and found some stuff i downloaded from napster, back in the day, you know, when napster was the shit. it brings back so many memories that i didn't even know i had. i can't think of many other things that can conjure up so many vivid memories for me. imagery like pictures and video doesn't do it for me like music does. neither does the written word. something about music and sound does it though.
i've been counting my blessings lately, and music is definitely up there on the list. some of the happiest and saddest moments of my life have been influenced by music and right now i'm feeling pretty thankful for it all.
guess i just felt like writing that down.
today was a good day. i played tenor trombone in a quartet with becker, randall, and dr. ostrander for south middle school kids at 9am this morning. i spent some much needed quality time with a friend. i got my tire fixed (still have to put it on though. that'll be tomorrow's project). i shoveled lots of snow. and finally, i got some good trombone playing in.
that's about it.
love,
james

...so you weren't listening to "Low and Outside"?
Thank God.
Cool! A post I wish I had written. Except for that part about the quartet. That would be a lie, coming from me. But then again, so is my pic.
One guess for "Nelson"
Oh, and feel free to add me to your list.
I agree, sir. I completely agree. Like I wrote recently, sometimes I tell myself that's what it's all about.
