Beginnings!

Hello World!

I hope your day went well today!

So: I had my rehearsal for that Gershwin recording session (I think I told you about it...?) Anyway! Turns out we're playing some lullabies for a cd for children to listen to before bed. Mellow stuff.

I must say, I was a bit surprised at myself for initially being a little disappointed/thinking that it was kinda lame. But after giving it more thought, I've officially decided that it's a cool project and kids need to have some nice relaxing things to listen to, so here I am.

Also, opening night of the musical - It ended up being very fun, and I heard good news - it will probably hold over, which means a little more pay than I thought! Yay! Also, a fellow member of the pit found out he got into grad school (it's a bit late, but he had been wait-listed everywhere else, so this is definitely awesome! plus it's a full assistantship just for playing in a brass quintet!)! And after the show they had food for everyone in the green room, which was AWESOME!

Didn't do much practicing today. I'll get at it tomorrow. Did pick up an application for a local music store to teach lessons. That would be so nice! I would love that!

On the docket for tomorrow:
- Gershwin recording session at some guy's house that he's turned into a studio (...interesting? Music is so shady sometimes!)
- Getting ingredients for soup and for Sunday's dinner
- Bike Ride? It's supposed to be uber nice
- Practice (It's really gotta happen - the probability of it happening is a lot higher tomorrow because I'll be bored)
- Musical Performance No. 2

Something I learned today:
Be nice to people. You never really know when they're going to be nice to you. And it sucks feeling guilty about when you were mean to them when it happens, instead of just being glad. It's not worth it in the end!


With that, I say to you (oh reader(s)),

Good night and farewell. I'll talk at you tomorrow.
