Ok, on another subject....
I really need to go on a drive. I haven't for a while now, and it's been bugging me. I need to get over the hill. I need to see the ocean. I need to see the sunset out over Davenport or Waddell Creek. I need to wander aimlessly on West Cliff Drive. I need to take a longer route home...

Wow, what a concert. Sold out crowd, almost all in costume, almost the whole orchestra in costume, the whole low brass section as Jedi Knights, and the music...
Nightmare Before Christmas was amazing, and Star Wars was just awesome. You know a good concert where everything is just easy to play. It's almost as if the horn is playing itself, I'm not thinking much, I'm...

The music from Star Wars? Nightmare Before Christmas? This upcoming concert will be fun. Quite.
I've never played this type of family concert before. Hell, I haven't even done many pops concerts. And the extent of that material is still from the regular "classical" genre. Or juggernaut. Either way...

I love this blog. Love, love love it! Play well, kick some ass and have all the fun you want giggling. All that stuff from Star Wars is DEFINITELY worth the smiles. 
And thanks for the shots in the band geek group.

Ok, great. Now how does one take moments of brilliance and transform them into a permanent fixture?

Thought you'd get a kick out of this. My boss sent me this link. His kid is a trumpet player in the Lake Oswego High School band here in town and they debuted a "trombone suicide" routine that was pretty cute. Being a bone guy yourself, I thought you might appreciate this. It actually got some TV time too, which is cool for the kids. I'll probably double post this in the Band Geek group, too.

I wonder if this will be one of those times where in 10 years I will look back and say things like, "That was a tough time for me..."
As I'm looking back on broken
Down dreams heartbreaks and
Memories that I've had. I made it
Through the hard times and came
Back a stronger man but this time
Darling it's just not the same...

Finally done moving. This will be a WEIRD year.
Granted, I'm glad as all hell to be out of that place. I loved the house, and at times I loved living there, but being the manager and a tenant just gets overwhelming when you're trying to get on with a career. Fix this, replace that, buy this, spend money on that... Uh oh... Someone moved...

Listened to stories for hours last night. I always knew my Grandpa lived a great life, but it's always fun hearing about his experiences from his own mouth. Some of the things he did were just hilarious.
Back in his racing days, he always refused to buy new parts. He would use old, worn in, beat up parts. Thing was, he ALWAYS won. As an...

Amazing rehearsal tonight. I didn't play everything perfectly, but still, it was pretty damn good. My tone was on, my intonation was as good as it has ever been, and my power was great. So I got to thinking What is stopping me from going much further? What is stopping me from going to the top and playing for a major symphony? Experience? Training? Reputation?...
