The starter version a #review for Trevor Wishart's #book "Sounds Fun: A Book of Musical Games" is up on the wiki now:

It may now be edited further (with or without an account), refined, corrected, and hopefully it will incorporate with time a few different points of view. :)

I’ve started using half day shortened periods for a quick long tone warmup and then a full runthrough of a piece that needs it, no matter how messy it is. It’s a great way to use a 16’ band or jazz class, and students actually tend to focus through it! #mused

He tells me of the flaxen crescent
dipped low on the twilight sky,
and I remember him,
above me, hair aflame,
as the pallid sun greeted day,
and I wonder if I will ever be the same.

Ripple Effect

Ripple Effect

Sometimes your poetry
seeps under my skin.
Other times, each drop
oxygenates this waterlogged body.
Then there are the wild surges
water cresting, wave crashing
doubt clearing, part drowning
relentless
And I am left breathless
For you, and your
tummy-dropping
honey-dripping
lips-spilling
poetry for me.

(It's really more of a positive feedback loop than a ripple effect.)
