So, what's up...
I had my hours cut back to part-time at work, so now I'm looking for another part-time job. I do have to say that only working 4 hours a day is really nice, and I think it terribly unjust that we be forced to work 40 hours or more a week at the same task just to make ends meet. I really need to find a more interesting field.
Two days ago we had a band practice with our re-arranged line up, Me, Matt, Mike, Kelsey, and someday Veronica, and it was the most fun I've had in months. I REALLY like playing music a lot, it's so much fun putting different parts of a song together and hearing it all fit. I could play music every day, or at least a couple times a week. If you ever want a mediocre bass player who takes direction well, give me a call. It helps that I've been playing with people who know what they're doing, for instance, our friend Kelsey is a music major and improvises pretty impressively on the penny-whistle, which would suggest that she's amazing on the Oboe (her major in college). I don't know much about the Oboe, and I've been trying to think of some cover songs that might take advantage of her talents, so any suggestions would be welcome. I was thinking of some songs with Clarinet that might work, and there are lots of songs I can think of that have a penny-whistle. I'm hoping we can learn Fairtale of New York, I'd love to do a shane mcgowan voice.
