which seems to be happening to me a lot, lately. i mean, it's winter - so i don't really want to go schlepping around with a lot of music equipment, and besides, i'm supposed to be woodshedding to become formidable on the piano. truth is, i don't last very long at that work. (note to would-be's: do not work alone; you can distract yourself with anything, and i mean ANYTHING).
today, i actually decided to take a teaching job, out of desperation (for money, and also to escape my procrastinating self). and really, the gods are against me; the first period was a 'prep', which means i have no students. lots of time to familiarize myself with the curriculum, if the absent teacher had left one. second period, during which no one showed up, is now over and i just heard the recess bell.
i should not complain, i know, not to mention advertise, this situation, but it doesn't happen very often. so, after preparing as much as i could for the classes, i am now applying myself to boring anyone who lands on this site.
i'll put some new pictures up later, when i get back at another fast computer.
in fact, i have a couple of gigs coming up, and of course, the ever-present piano work, as well as some 'tours' i would like to arrange for the summer. and on the weekend, i'll be working on the zootcase fundraising/advertising video that my son is very kindly putting his professional talents to. (bad sentence for a teacher, i know). oh yes, and some videos that i'm having prepared for youtube.
i'm trying to convince myself that i am busy, and doing worthwhile stuff. it's hard without money. i would be recording new songs if i had some of that commodity.
well, enough fascinatin' rhythm for now; i've just got too much to do....
