Getting to my favorite part of my "Facing the Music" class, where we start talking about sound vs noise, musicality, context - all the good stuff.

Having produced a podcast for The American Classical Orchestra called TACOtalk, I'm finding it mildly disturbing that most people will now associate ‘taco’ with a particular orange shitstain and not Schubert. Or salsa. 🌮😬 #ClassicalBeats #TACOtalk

I just got an email from Labcorp that my "results were available" literally minutes ago. Clicked on the link as I was confused since I hadn't had any work done. All the same - relieved that it wasn't serious or life-threatening 🙄

Visiting my mom in hospice, likely for the last time. In the lounge, a woman strummed her guitar, singing a lively rendition of “God Bless America” to a group of elderly kids in memory care.
Disconnection abounds.

The Beatles and The Stones and Zeppelin and The Beach Boys and The Who are all wonderful but when you reach the age of 56 you realize it was The Byrds and The Kinks all along. Happy birthday to me.
