In honor of Kurt Weill's birthday (one day late)

Anybody who knows me knows I am crazy for Kurt Weill, and have been performing his music off and on for many years. So in honor his birthday (a date late), here are some links to a few interesting and/or gorgeous versions of some Kurt Weill tunes. Maybe I'll get some old video of my own Kurt Weill stuff up here one of these days...Which brings to mind an entirely different issue. I will be performing some of my original collaborations with Jaroslaw Golembiowski sometime in the near future, and we'll probably throw some Kurt Weill in there for good measure as well. Details to follow.

Day two and already working too much for the challenge.

Well that's a fine kettle of fish..."play my existence" my ass. Oh well I am TRYING!!!! This morning was a load of prep for students, driving, teaching and stopping by the store. Now its' off to The Rock Academy for more teaching. AGH! But I'm not going to take this lying down. I am going to get some fun frolic time in if it kills me, dammit.

In the spirit of the concept I am posting this funky sketch from my sketchbook. NO it's not from today. So what? You gonna make something of it? It nevertheless speaks to this issue....so stay tuned. Smiley face.

Playing my Existence

Whereby I have discovered that I have an internal imperative that needs to be eradicated, i.e. to "justify" my existence by "earning" it, so to speak,  I have decided to give myself a challenge for the month of March and as a harbinger and a bringer of the Spring. Every day this month I most do something-SOMETHING by GOD, to play my existence. Who knows what this will yield? Perhaps a month full of brownies speckled with gummi bears...? Or maybe a mouthful of songs that cry to be buried alive? Stay tuned. I will try to post some or all of something. (Except the brownies...those I shall eat.)
