This’ll be a quick one. Haven’t posted in a while and I had such a wild day I have to write it down to get my head around it.
1- Uploaded a bunch of movie clips for my electronic music class at Mohawk College to begin their final scoring assignment. (Some of these kids are GOOD writers!)
2- Held class and walked them through how to access and begin scoring the clips on their computer work stations.
3- Discussed the previous day’s master class with Bill Dillon. Bill, a great guitar player, has worked with everyone from Bob Dylan to Peter Gabriel to Nigel Kennedy. Oh, and he is a master.
4- Led my ensemble in the afternoon. This group has grown a lot since the fall when I first heard them and thought, “Okay, let’s get to work. Now”.
5- Had a budget meeting at Hamilton Place concerning upcoming Follies shows.
6- Then off to a meeting at the Sheraton to discuss producing weekly jazz shows there. More on that later.
7- Attended the Sears Drama Festival at Sir John A. McDonald and saw some really great student theatre. (Way to go Jill!)
I’ve said it a million times by now, and I’ll say it again. I love all of the many gears I find myself in on any given day. The hard part is not any particular gear I happen to be in. The hard part is shifting between them.
I think I need a new clutch.
