Last week, I wrote about playing the tenori-on for my grandfather and aunts and uncles. I mentioned that Pa wasn’t into it, but my aunt thought it would be great to meditate to. I told her I’d write some meditation music for her and I started on the plane ride home. When I wrote [...]

Colonel Charles Luther Lowell served as a pilot in WWII. He is eighty-eight years old. He married my grandmother on March 21, 1943, and they had three kids: my mom and my Aunt DJo 11 months, two weeks, and a day apart, then my uncle David 15 years later (oops). Chuck and Wilma lived [...] It seems like most of my posts here tend to be more about sound than about music. I’m afraid it might be getting tedious for you. Nevertheless, it’s all I’ve got today. I am too traumatized to make a good story out of it, so I’ll just say what happened.

Last night I went to a house concert in Alexandria sponsored by the folklore society of greater Washington at the home [...] In that sea of cars, trucks, busses, et cetera streaming from NOLA, is a 3-car mini-caravan containing six of my nuclear and extended family members and four birds. They left their homes on Saturday night and spent nearly 8 hours driving to Jackson. Seeing the news coverage of thousands of cars sitting on the [...] Picking up a little bit on Justin’s post from Friday, I’m reading a book right now called This is Your Brain on Music – The science of a human obsession by Daniel J. Levitin. Levitin is a former successful music producer and engineer who got so fascinated with how people perceive music that he [...] i’m sorry for the late post this week. i have been without interwebs since last thursday at my studio, and every path i took through the tortuous maze of verizon’s “help” line menus resulted in me either being bluntly disconnected or being cheerfully told by a recording that no one could help me. so [...] hi. today’s not my day to post, but i’ve been having a lot of fun googling worst album covers. i’m sure you’ve all done this, but my favorite today is this one:. |
