Zero

I've been happily musing to my close friends how I'm kinda surprised to have pretty much zero % anxiety as I approach the final four days of my fundraiser, despite the numbers looking back at me.  I then went downstairs and saw that I had burned not one but two pots today, in forgetting they were simmering while I called and wrote and practiced. Yup, I hear you, universe/god: I'll lean back a little more in faith and take nice, fleshy post lunch break. Apologies to beloved housemates, elbow grease will be dispatched and all back in order.

And, If you're able to share info on my streaming concert, Brown Bag in B-flat, that would be sooo helpful.

Full Circle

We're at 55%! :D

What a beautiful day of reconnecting with all the people I love that have been alongside me in my creative and musical journey, and inviting them to join this project. Tonight I'll see my college friend and bassist Solomon Dorsey, in some mystical full circle of scheduling. Solomon played at the senior concert of my dear friend Jean Rohe 10 years ago at The New School. I remember sitting in that room and feeling my soul leap in joy to see for the very first time what is POSSIBLE - music that brings people together in joy, grace and grief, music of rhythms, instruments and languages from around the world. And, musicians that create with their whole selves, so much larger than their notes. 

If you'd like to support me in these last three days, please invite people to Friday
