I’ve been trying to work this up again. Now I remember why this album blew me away when I was 20.

16 groups performed at the SBCC String & Wind Festival yesterday. Performance, critique, and the terror of sight reading in front of a judge. The sight reading judge was so good that they every group left smiling! Love to see kids happy with their musical progress.

It’s String and Wind Festival time of year again. What a great time giving clinics to young groups and hearing them get better in 20 minutes. So much fun!

Today I watched Dr. Maurice Limon inspire a group of college students at the Dos Pueblos High School Jazz Festival. One of the best clinics I have seen in 35 years.

Let Bluesky know that the 300 character limit is old tech and needs to be increased. Click the Hamburger menu at the top left and then the feedback button at the very bottom. Thx.

I look forward to seeing old friends at festivals all over California. Kicking things off with the Ventura Co. Jr. High Honor Band. I love the energy of the Jr. High kids. Lots of fun. (Missing from this picture is Coconut Shrimp Island that I stole from Patrick Sheridan.)

Went to see Charlie Chaplin’s Gold Rush with his score played live by the Santa Barbara Symphony. So much fun. I learned that Chaplin “composed” the score with the help of a team of composers because he could neither read or write music. David Raksin, the composer of Laura was a big part of the team

The Santa Barbara Symphony also runs 3 exceptional youth orchestras. It’s inspiring to watch these kids play!

I just discovered the “Mutuals” feed in Bluesky. It lets you only see posts from friends. To activate it go to the menu hamburger at the top left of the screen and choose “Feeds.” Click on Mutuals and the the push-pin icon in the upper-right. Now you will have a menu in that only shows friends posts
