When things come to a standstill.

I have not been able to do anything work related these few days. I'm not in the mood to think about music right now. The only music that gives me some consolation right now is listening to John Coltrane's Love supreme album. Funerals are emotionally manageable up to a point when you see relatives cry. That's when you break down and feel a little empty inside. Then the mind shuts down.

My grandma passed away today. That's all I have to say bout that now.

Its all Good.

Things are looking good for me this year and I'm thankful for that. Some updates, new students coming along from the 11 year old who loves the beatles to the 50 plus year old chap who studied classical guitar most of his life and now wants to learn the piano. There's a new cat in the house although me and oaks are not too sure yet cuz he's still on probation. His name, if he's confirmed as part of the family will be Digby chicken Caesar. Go watch The Mitchell and Webb look if you don't already know. I have finally managed to get this little music project of mine going. And I think I've found the right person in Ghaz. My musick for the cat people is still on hold. Not sure why but I know that it feels its not time yet. Johnston did great on drums with Jeremy's Albatross project jam and I'm hoping to see him for more jams and gigs to come. Can't wait for the next sunday jam with the fellas from cp music. My exams are projected to be in April. I'm not exam ready yet but I'm working on something bigger which will encompass that fact, which is to be musically ready to face whatever challenges are ahead. No point passing a Jazz Dip exam, when you can't just jump on stage during a performance and do a totally improvised show. Had a family gathering recently and I'm hoping to post some pix up on fb some my mom can see it.
