“Downtown Dallas” We had a fun evening Friday night seeing the Rocky Horror Show live on stage. It was surely a blast from the past. I remember seeing the movie for the first time in college, having no idea what to expect. Fortunately, I went with veterans, fellow music majors. As I was finally getting into the things and becoming familiar with the whole prop routine, we turned around only to see several of the music faculty sitting two rows…
‘Early Morning Tree” Early morning light…ha! I wish that I could say that I am laughing about early morning light because I had the luxury of sleeping through it. Sadly, that is not the case. Sunrise in Dallas this morning was at 7:18. By this time I was at school standing in front of the copy machine printing tests for my 7:30 class. Sunrise came and went without even a notice from me. Walking across campus a little later to…
“Movement I” I was so focused on the “I” as the movement number that I failed to see all of the other numbers – the tempo marking, measure numbers, number of rests…I did crop this square, which removed the Op. 36, almost.
“And Her Choice Is…” Nothing but some fun with the Legos today… Whom will she choose? Will it be the safe but boring businessman? The gorgeous but somewhat stuck-up athlete? Or, the fun loving but seriously unstable musician?
“Falling Sun” Even now, before the time change, there is not much good natural light left when I get home from school. I love everything about fall, except the shorter days. I got this one right before the setting sun dipped below the horizon.
“September Where We Stand” We bought these orange and blue terra cotta boot planters on a ridiculous sale last weekend. What we didn’t buy yet is anything to plant in them. I had hoped that we might get that done this weekend, but it didn’t happen. So, for now, the empty boot sit on the porch waiting. So that they wouldn’t feel totally neglected, I decided to use them in the September “Where I Stand” photo that was supposed to…
‘The Cat and the Guy Without His Hat” Frankie is an indoor cat. She is OK with that except when we and the dogs are all outside and she is inside alone. She never tries to escape to the outside, but she is always happy when someone carries her out and provides a lap from which she can enjoy the sounds, scents and sights of the great outdoors. Today her daddy took her out and they both seemed to be…
“A Spoonful of…” Well, I could have, should have done a little better job of photographing a reflection, but yesterday got away from me and this is the best I could do at 10 pm.
“Between Notes” I am thankful that I have a job that I love and that allows me to make music every day, but I have to admit that by this time in the week, I am most appreciative of the pauses between the notes.
“Circles”
