A few of my favorite things...
..today I got my music books in the mail (well, from the DHL driver, anyway).
I'd forgotten the joy of cracking open a book of music to a song you've listened to countless times and learning the chords, hearing the song you're used to hearing come out from beneath your fingers, feeling that joy at turning the pages and bending your hands to the new chords.
Damn, there are some really good things in life I've let go too long. Me and my Alesis Q 8.2 are having a great time as I get reacquainted with the joy of music from a player's perspective.
Happiness abounds.
It even makes up for having to clean house.
Less than three weeks until the Savannah Poetry Festival, and I'm finally writing again and feeling like I'm getting something good down on paper. Everything seems so much clearer now, and it comes out in my writing.
Still cleaning the house, and organizing as I go. Putting the shelving and table together tonight and hopefully starting to put all the equipment out so I can do a dry run for the show on lforadio.com that starts Sunday - I need to connect to the audio server and test all the connections. Looking forward to finally doing a radio show again - and even better because I'm going to have a chat room and video too (if I want to do video - the new MacBook has that video camera on it, too).
Yes. Yes, indeed.
