Bring Something New to the Table


As I have mentioned somewhat in passing in a few recent posts, I have been working on a large writing project this summer in the time freed up by practicing very little, no ASU in session, and no summer festival this year. Last week I hit a large roadblock on this. About that same day a friend commented that a group that made a CD had “brought something new to the table.” That was the missing piece for me. So I scrapped the original project totally, went back to a 2004/07 draft that I had abandoned and went to writing. I still will leave it quiet exactly what it is but I will keep working on this through the fall and it is exciting to see a draft complete to the end with so much new material in it. Now I can practice again! I am ready to get back to playing horn and to moving forward again on other projects, and I am ready to prepare for the fall semester.
