This week
Posted by blk1 on April 19, 2007
My life moves on this week, as usual, but it is an unusual week. There’s my own personal challenge, my public move with my guitar. I’ve been working so hard to prepare for the move. I don’t know that I enjoy playing in public. I love the sound I can make with my instrument in the quiet of my apartment, with Tuvia and then of course with my teacher. But on Tuesday when I played for my buds that sound wasnt’ there. Sure, I got through it and yes they liked it. They supported me through it. THe sound wasn’t as consistent, because my hands were not working with me all the time. I did keep myself focused and that was great. Sunday is coming. Jon will be here with me and that will be great when we play together. Should have come first or last?
And yesterday I was able to see my student teachers, and back home I worked on my H is for the Hudson piece…and on American Idol we finally said goodbye to Sangiev. And today will officially kick off the SI’07 with interviews.
But this week there’s been horrible events: shooting on a college campus, an evening with great minds who share my frustration with the present administration and what that’s done for our world and our country, and of course the floods.
I just continue on as others are stopped, dead in their tracks. I am grieving and living my life without a pause. Is that right? Should I be doing more for those who have been stopped from their lives?

Yes — plenty of mixed emotions and feelings — channel it through the music. (if you can).

[...] It’s been a strange week for me and probably for all teachers, with the killings on a college campus, it’s bad enough in a war, but in a place of learning, how can that be?, then the floods and of course, my private challenge with my guitar in shaking hands, performances for my small groups…all in all, a tough week, we need some sunshine.
