It\u2019s been a busy few weeks with real life. It\u2019s been a very rainy month of May. Seems like rain every Mon thru Thurs the last three or more weeks. I haven\u2019t been able to take the Mustang out on any day I\u2019ve worked at home all month. At least the last couple weekends have been warm and sunny, and teasing that summer is right around the corner. I haven\u2019t been able to skate much either, but I put new wheels on my rollerblades last weekend, which makes a big difference, and finally had the chance Sunday. This Friday is the start of summer Fridays at my office, so I get a much-needed break. If the weather\u2019s good I might get the mustang down to the body shop for an estimate.<\/p>\n
Last night was the spring band concert at my kids\u2019 school. Both Lizzy and Michelle played, on flute and clarinet. Michelle was thrilled, as it was her first concert. It was a big band, about sixty kids. At the old school it was a dozen or maybe twenty. The week before that was the art show at the school. This was a cool thing that I\u2019d never seen a school do before. Basically they turned to cafeteria into an art gallery and put up all the best stuff from the year\u2019s art classes. Some really nice stuff. Got to mingle with the other parents and listen to the kids beg to go out for ice cream.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been making progress on music and recording. Last weekend I laid down the lead vocals for Black Swan as well as Michelle\u2019s new song \u201cNow\u201d. It\u2019s a sweet and simple song, yet at the same time deep, in a Lydian mode.. For this one Michelle wrote the music on piano and came up with most of the arrangement. There\u2019s going to be a clarinet solo on it. I told her if she has a third song we could make it into a suite for my next record.<\/p>\n
