I got a beautiful new (to me) Buffet Crampon R13 over the holidays and this weird viral thing led me to the Knoxville Symphony's audition standard for principal clarinet. And now I have a few new things to practice.
A professional clarinetist went mega-viral today--and drew support from several members of the Trump administration--claiming he was "canceled for resisting DEI" in 2020 and denied a job at a different symphony last year for the same reason. There's, uh, more to it.

Real glad I learned @keroseneheights exists last year. Equally glad they released Blame It On The Weather this year because it rules.

I miss this. The best part about working at HST was the midday runs around the mall and (even better) TR island sometimes catching Marine One over Georgetown.

My little village council had four candidates for four available seats on the ballot today. While I could've voted for all four, I chose to vote for one. Obviously they're all getting elected, but I hope he ends up with one more vote than the others.

Yesterday a road sign of all things hit me in the feels on a shitty day.
It turns out that a state hwy I use weekly to get to rehearsal is named after Lucas Pyeatt, a Marine whose unit I joined several years after his death.
Perspective, ya know.
