I hope something good happens to you today.
Perks of the job: people watching.

There weren’t many costumes since it wasn’t a family concert.

Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear tortillas. 🌮

10/18/25: Dracula (1931) with the St. Joseph Symphony.

Mind-melting season opener with the Topeka Symphony:

♪ Strauss- Don Juan
♪ Coleman- Umoja
♪ Tchaikovsky- Piano Concerto with Van Cliburn medalist Vitaly Starikov
♪ Encore (after 35m of Tchaik): Prokofiev Sonata 7, mvt III “Precipitato”

I used every bit of my brain this week. What a program. 🔥

Probably shouldn’t have finished The Rehearsal season 2 a day before flying…

My mouth was hanging open most of the finale. Nathan Fielder earned all of my respect.

omg.

Remember how excited you were when you got to work on Canon the very first time?

…right, guys?
……..remember?

5/10/25: Topeka Symphony & Topeka Civic Theater present Sondheim’s Into the Woods. Fun production!

5/3/25: A few more from Springfield Symphony/StL Ballet’s Broadway production.

These artists blow my mind, always an honor to support them in the orchestra!

My favorite concert cycle of the year to play: the StL Ballet + Springfield Symphony collab.

2025’s program, “Feels Like Broadway,” features Carousel (Rodgers), Who Cares? (Gershwin), and Interplay (Martin Gould).

Musicians- ever experience #diplacusis?

Sunday I got in my car to run errands— I was 100% sure my car’s door chime was different. Flat by a quarter to half step.

Same yesterday- plus my AirPods connected with a flat pitch.

Doubt it’s permanent, my GP and I are on top of it.

Dang, what a trip.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time comparing Linux programming to #Severance plot points.

It made me remember how much I genuinely enjoyed learning this stuff & evidently retained way more than I realized.

I’d like to get into that kind of work again. Anybody hiring a network/IT assistant?

Sunset is starting out hazy tonight in KC… 👀 I just put together why my windshield was curiously dirty today. (I’ve gotten conditioned to the road salt yuck.)

The wind has been HOWLING.

HEY GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW! The partial eclipse is cool getting to see the colors change!

Yeah, the internet called it— #severance Easter egg parallels all over!!! And a nice story on its own too.

@thisisdeepseadiver.bsky.social wowed me 5/18/13 at Riot Room Kansas City (opening for Telekinesis) — again 10/5/21 at recordBar. Come back to KC when you can!
March 13, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Madison Cunningham blew me away opening for Punch Brothers 9/9/18. Just a girl and her guitar on the Kauffman Center theater stage, easily commanding that giant room. Badass. (I didn’t get a picture, boo.)

Then with full band at recordBar KC 9/21/22. So much power.

36ish hours of intense shoulder pain. Not even from performing-- from carrying too much in my backpack ☹️
March 3, 2025 at 8:22 PM
SO EXCITED FOR THIS PROGRAM TONIGHT! Springfield Symphony:
🔥 Sibelius Violin Concerto — Aubree Oliverson is a powerhouse!
🔥 Beethoven 5 — cliché, but probably my favorite B because of the triumphant final movement.
March 1, 2025 at 11:34 PM
The Matchsellers at Stockyards Brewing’s Sunday Service, February 2025. One of my favorite bands in KC 🥰
