A day in the life of a musician and his art.

Monday, February 02, 2004

I watched the Super Bowl at work yesterday. I tried to convince my coworkers to work for me but they didn't want to. So I had permission from the boss to go to Radio Shack and buy a TV antenna. Luckily it was good enough to get reception. I was watching mostly for the commercials. Mostly I listened to the play-by-play, and ran over during commercials or whenever there was a score.

Ating Tao Drum Circle is drumming with the kids from Aptos Middle School in the Chinese New Year Parade this weekend. After that I have a bit of a break as they will be preparing to perform for POMO at Yerba Buena Center in March. Since I'm going to Germany, I'll be more of a consultant in their preparation.

Which reminds me: I just wrote the third largest check of my life -- $950 -- for my last two payments for my tour. It will be 13 days in both East Germany and Czech Republic. It's getting close to breaking me again, but I don't see why I shouldn't 'go for broke' [no pun intended]. I mean how many times does one get to tour Europe singing in some of the greatest venues for a choir to sing in.

Tomorrow, I also audition for a Jazz Combo. The director decided to do focus on Stevie Wonder this semester, so I've been going mad trying to memorize a song. I've performed "Higher Ground" but I've been concentrating on "My Cherie Amour".

As always, cross your fingers 'cause I'm nervous to heck right now.
