since my college classes are now under control, the past few weeks i have been getting a lot of writing in. i have sketched enough material for probably 5 or 6 new compositions. the material came fast and furious so i'm going on hiatus to get some writing done.Labels: pbe

i spent the last 2 days literally all over the country because of a family emergency. things are definitely all over the place right now.
i just started teaching at csuf, the classes are good and the students are more enthusiastic than i remember. its going to be very interesting teaching entry level dictation and eartraining while also preparing older ones for student teaching. in many ways its similar to working with 5-12 grade students at viewpoint.
scott is getting married saturday. i couldn't be more happy for him. i think he and sophie started dating soon after he joined the pbe. she brings out all the best in him. guys like us sure get the better end of the deal. he is a great friend, confidant and calm head to listen to my plans of world domination. the wedding is going to be very cool. our bass player's other band, "kid and nic show" is also playing the reception. it cannot get any better.
i'm also very fortunate to have talked (too briefly) two the leaders of two great bands in at mr. t's. the arroyo arts collective asked me to put together a music festival to end this years discovery home tour. the first two guys i called were roderick cumming (cat hair ensemble) and timothy sellars (artichoke). i'm a great fan of what they are doing artistically and musically. they each have a unique stage show and their lyrics and music have something you can sink your teeth into. i cannot really do them justice at 11pm tonight, but more to come on these great bands soon....
change is stressful, so far this week has been insane.
thank god for deb (and scooter, dolly, javi, peepers and chachi) they are my foundation. without them none of this would matter.

nicole is mostly responsible for the creation of the new vocal extravaganza, retrace our steps. she is great singer, collaborator and supporter (and she brought me other great singers also), i would a poor shlub without her.
so step right up.... singing nightly in the la, but commuting daily to the oc and maintaining a relative level of sanity. NICOLE BAKER
