Listening to a #windensemble reference recording I participated in my freshman year of university… gngnnghf!!!!

It being a bit on the hot side (94F/35C), I offer a bit of fan fare which may, or may not, cool things down.

I recall reading about #newmusic #composer Julius Eastman a couple of years ago via an article from NPR, and today I fell down the rabbit hole courtesy of the Apple Music Classical app. This tickles my #windensemble brain in some significant ways. Currently listening to “If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?”. Incredible.

Off to play the Ladner Bandfest today! If you’re around Metro Vancouver, we hit it at 4:30pm in Memorial Park! #windband #windensemble #doublebass #concertband #rcn

Nice day for a concert outside. Playing in support of the Foundry in #yyj. The resolution on this photo is kinda bananas tho… #bassist #windensemble #rcn #nadenband

During the winter of 2022 I hunkered down to write this and the debut performance was a lot of fun, but wow it was lot of work too!

Not a bad view for practicing this morning! #whistler #windensemble #conbrio #bass #doublebass #rcn

Day 1 on the road in the books. Traveling with a 35-piece #windensemble is a real logistical nightmare sometimes, but my friend Steve is handling it like a champ.

And so begins #tourlife! Back to my happy place for a bit. #bass #doublebass #rcn #windensemble

I’m sure it has as much to do with the consistency of practice and the diligence and the slow and steady nature of improvement, but I’m gonna post my win for the day. I’m actually feeling comfortable on #doublebass tuned in 5ths. The intervals, the layout of the fingerboard, it’s all clicking.

Happy to be going on the road to field-test it in real-life applications from #concert halls and school cafeterias playing #windensemble music, to hotel ballrooms and #jazz clubs over the next month.

Hello suitcase, my old friend / I've come to load you up again… #tourlife #bassist #windensemble #RCN

G - Grateful for coworkers who make me laugh.
L - Learned that years of honing patience through parenting and teaching comes in handy.
A - I’m calling this list today’s accomplishment simply because I’m pooped and rallied to get it done.
D - DELIGHTED that #WindEnsemble started again tonight.

Back to the ‘shed today. An hour of working through stuff tuned in 5ths. Trying to be more efficient with my routines, and using timers is a big part of that. I tend to get sucked into the vortex and need an out if I’m not supposed to be doing deep work. #doublebass #windensemble #practice

It’s the most wonderful time of year for this #BandGeekForLife. The #MidwestClinic is this week and I’m heading down there today. I fell in love with band from the first full rehearsal in 4th grade; 40 years and 3 music degrees later I still love it. I may no longer be a #BandDirector but I’ll keep playing in band until they pull my withered corpse out of the flute section.

Haha, I just played the first half of the show with my fly down 😂 #bass #doublebass #windensemble #militaryband

So fun to be back onstage last night at the Royal Theatre! A fun night of #bass getting to play some holiday classics (and new music, too). #windensemble #windband #doublebass #militaryband
