Super Deluxe Music Week
Super Deluxe Music Week!
So, as some of you may know, I play music for each of my boys’ 5th grade classes for half an hour each Wednesday morning. This week, they get a bonus: the masterful harmonica stylings of Beckett Gladney. So we need to rehearse a bit tonight for that.
Saturday morning, I’m meeting with Seanan, Jeff, & Maya to rehearse for the Saturday evening Travelling Circus & Snake-Handling Show (and of course, McGuire book-signing event) at Borderlands in San Francisco that night. Then I run from that to rehearse with my church band (the Peak Rocks, house band for Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation) in the afternoon. From there, run home, grab the family, and head to Borderlands. Sunday morning is Peak Rocks’ performance at the MPUUC service. But that’s still not enough: Sunday afternoon is the church’s Sunday Salon, where Peak Rocks is performing a couple of (different) songs, and Beckett and I will be playing a number, as well. Then, of course, there’s all the rehearsing I should be doing on my own for those various performances in whatever free time I can manage to find. (For instance, I need to work on my Oscar the Grouch for I Love Trash for the MPUUC service.)
Well, if it all ends up killing me, I go out happy. :{)}
