Man, I've got so many ideas for some supre rad big band/swing tunes I'd love to be able to write, but I don't know how to arrange for brass or woodwinds, much less notate for other instruments. Sure, if I knew braille music notation I could notate stuff for myself, but that's a pain in and of itself. Kinda sucks. Oh and I'm a drummer, so I'm not sure how much that'd help anyway. #Annoyed #MusicianProblems

An update - #distrokid has continued to stick to the "We can't fix your account" story, so I will be terminating my account with them. Looks like I'll be exploring #tunecore for the time being.

My #distrokid experience so far - uploading and releasing a track went fine. But now, I can't upgrade my account for some "technical reason" that can't be fixed, so I'm told I have to open a new account with a new e-mail address... are we serious here? You can't fix an account issue? What if I had money due to me?

Anyone have #tunecore experience? I'll be switching to a competitor if this doesn't get fixed today.

Actual conversation last night…

“Helen, I want to go back on stage.”
“I know love.”
“Helen, it’s eating at me, I really need to.”
“I know love, but finish the album.“
“But I want to be back on stage.”
“Jess, finish the album.”
”Helen….”
“Jess, finish the fucking album.”

🙄🤣

Yesterday I figured out something new on the double bass and I am very pleased with myself about it, but also I'm pretty sure if I had been taught by a teacher this would have been something that they explained to me around lesson 3, so I probably shouldn't proudly broadcast that I just figured it out now. #musicianProblems

Raise your hand if you've done this 🙋 (too often)

Look

I don't wanna be famous

But I do want people to notice if I used a drum stick dragged against a metal grocery cart as a #percussion sound

The way I noticed when I was a kid when Depeche Mode did it, and finally after all these years had that suspicion confirmed by video

A night at the gym, 4 hours of sleep, right into another 08:30 performance at Fleur de Lis.

I'm really glad Fleur feeds me coffee and that I can play while nearly asleep (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)

(The cause is probably a change in my meds. The symptoms shooould subside somewhere within a month.)

I've been trying to get my wake-up time back to 08:00ish from where it's settled recently at 14:00.

13:00...12:00...11:00... I've made progress over the last week even after our 8+ hour DnD session.

Theeeen I had a night gig and I'm right back to 14:30 orz

A track on a holiday album is labeled “Bring a Torch, Janette Isabela” but also contains “I Saw Three Ships.” Why would they do that? #MusicianProblems

I just love when google changes the search results order so you can’t find the chords you are looking for when you need them in the middle of a #MusicTherapy session 🤦🏻‍♀️. What happened to ultimate guitar popping up first? #MusicTherapyProblems #MusicianProblems

Listened to people in the next office over surprise a coworker for his birthday and they only sang two and a half measures of “Happy Birthday.” Who doesn’t sing the whole song?! He doesn’t warrant the whole song? Nice present: here’s the first phrase- that’s all you get. #MusicianProblems

Incredibly we have extra space so I might be able to take my bass guitar after all #music #MusicianProblems #bass #trumpet #piccolo #piano #ukulele

Useless idea of the century: Taking a private arrangement project with me on a trip. Just some Monteverdi I couldn't find a piano reduction for and I'm thinking about arranging for guitar and voice anyway.

Not that I could play guitar *and* sing this style of music simultaneously anyway, and none of my friends play *classical* guitar.
