I taught today. First lesson in almost two weeks. It felt good, if a little odd, to get back to it. My student is making solid progress, so that's cool too. My other lesson for the week got pushed back from tomorrow to Thursday, but with tomorrow being the first day of work at the new job, I figure that might turn out to be a good thing.
I had grand intentions to spend a lot of today listening to all of the new music we picked up in WI, and never even made it over to the bag of stuff to pick something. Although the Josh Ritter EP was still in the car from yesterday when I drove to my lesson, so that counts for something, right? No, instead it was a lot of stuff I already had, highlighted by some Jackie Greene. His record Giving Up The Ghost was an in-store play way back when I started at B&N five years ago. It's a great record. I have two of his other discs, but I will need to find the rest of his stuff at some point.
I got to my lesson early enough that I got to spend a couple of minutes playing around with one of the progressions from the Grohl Challenge. It was nice to be able to pick that up again and find that the ideas I have written down still sound like they want to be songs. Might have a band name to release that under, too. Makes it feel like more of a real project somehow, I don't know.
Oh, in other news, I finally stumbled across the long-absent third volume of Counting Crows rarities that S. said she had. Shortly thereafter, I realized that I still don't have all of those rarities volumes uploaded into the itunes/on the ipod. That needs to change soon.
That's really all for today. As always, more tomorrow.
