Learning
…in which the protaganist pontificates using multisyllabic words about constantly learning – sometime of his own volition, others from situations forced upon his weary but decidedly not bored brain.
Wow
Now that The Week Begins has dropped, AND the performance at Joey Stuckey’s Alive Day is done….. now what?
An Exercise
My brains are increasingly scrambled. Time to focus – time is getting short. But how? Thus, the Experiment.
Creativity and Deadlines
I’ve often said “Nothing gets done without a deadline”. [I should make that a tshirt or a coffeemug over at HamSandwichTees.com]. How does that relate to the “Week Begins” album [which is still in progress…STILL.] Read on…….
Moments
Breathing and Dashing are probably mutually exclusive activities.
Too Much
How NOT to deal with a list that has too much on it. A sordid tale of an experiment on an Edisonian scale – I find another thing that doesn’t help.
CONTEXT
Ruts, stuckness, colored light bulbs, and possibly a bout of serious laziness.

Music, Goals, and Confusion
A small update on “the music thing”, along with some annoying platitudes, the War of Art, Resistance, and a few small steps. #music #goals There I go, being blog-ish again.
One Piece of Paper

Piano
Working on HOW MANY albums? HOW MANY different production processes? HOW MANY choices to be made? no wonder I’m nuts.
Untitled
A Blank Page Can Be A Scary Thing.
ALBUMS
2 albums? At the same time? Am I crazy? Plus some thinking out loud about how underpaid Beethoven’s copyists were, the differing workflows, and the lack of PostIt notes from heaven…….
Classical, Rock, Jazz, and the Studio
Pondering the different approaches to music and recording in a few genres…. and what my favorite it.
Music
Creative thinking about creativity, creatively typed [or should that be artisanally typed?)… plus being noticed.
Creativity
Creativity – creatively pondered on Tom’s Typewriter
