April showers bring a busy month of May

Lots of stuff going on. I have a 20-year high school reunion coming up. This sounds like a drag but it's not. My school was small(about 75 graduated in my class) and it was all male. Now, this may also sound like a drag but quite the contrary. Imagine a 4-year camping trip with a bunch of your friends. That pretty much sums up my high school years. In any event, I am one of the guys planning the thing and I started a "reunion blog" back in January, so most of my blogging has been happening at that locale. If for some unknown and strange reason you would like to see this blog, go here:

This little project has been a blast. I've been able to reconnect with several "old" friends. Many more to come...

I'm also working on a composition for the Cleveland Institute of Art's graduation ceremony. I've had to change my idea a few times due to technical restrictions, but I think things are moving a long nicely. Two of the second year students have built "instruments", both of which I need to integrate into the piece. This is sort of difficult because they seem to be conceived mostly as "interesting objects" rather than practical instruments. But I'll try....:)

I'm also doing a show with trumpet player John Keugelar and tabla player Joe Culley. I will be performing on guitar and electronics. I'll post more info when I get it.

Thanks

My friend Randi tells me that she has received some donations from Ohio for her leukemia marathon (see previous post). If any of these are from people I know, Randi and myself thank you greatly for your generosity! If you have not donated and would like to, you still can...follow the link.
