Mid HolyDay Season

December 22nd, 2009

As always, my blog is at Flute_blog

Yes, we are finally getting near to the end of the shopping season. That part always drags out my energy. Usually because at the same time, I’m trying to provide energy for playing sacred Christmas Carols at church and at other places. As usual, I’ve been doing more research into authentic Christmas Carols, as I do every year. I’m always surprised by how much these works of art seem to be modified at will to suit the popular politically correct view. I wonder if we would ever consider re-painting a Cezzanne or Monet or even a DiVinci to more accurately suite our sensibilities.

In any rate, I’m just trying to focus back down on the holiness of the day to boost my own spirit, and share some joy with those around me.

First Snow of the season

December 5th, 2009

As usual fluteplayer blog: http://www.elkvoice.com/flute_blog

It seriously snowed today. Well, actually since friday when the schools all closed and we had the pleasure of driving around on very slick roads for a while during work hours. But, today was a good day to be outside while the lake effect snow (light fluffy stuff just like in Who-ville) steadily came drifting down.

The kids thoughtfully made trails all over the yard so that the rabbits and deer would have places to walk. Since we’re doing a live christmas tree this year, I took the opportunity to dig a planting hole out by the tree line before the ground freezes up. Just adding another tree to the forest. The animals should like that.

I’m still writing some more music at this time. Been spending time down in the lab working on something fun. But mostly dealing with everyone’s health issues, and now my cough. So no vocal tracks for me for a while.
