  1. My youth handbell ringers suddenly got it together today, after a couple of weeks of tough rehearsals. Now they can play everything!
  2. My #improvFriday piece: http://www.hand2ear.com/I%20heard%20the%20bells,%20the%20bells,%20the%20bells.mp3
  3. Reading 'Mainly On Directing' by Arthur Laurents, an inspiring book about musical theater.
  4. Reading 'The Beijing of Possibilities', fascinating stories by Jonathan Tel.
  5. Bought a used Olympus XA (camera) on Ebay. I love how small it is, and how capable, for the size.
  6. Two new mp3s of instrumental pieces on my web page: http://www.hand2ear.com/recent. The home page has notes on each.
  7. Listening to 'Time Curve Preludes' by Wm Duckworth. Read about them here: http://tinyurl.com/y8bcxz2
  8. @GretchensPianos Argh - hope the surgery is nothing serious. Your hands & arms must be OK, at least.
  9. Has anybody read Kazuo Ishiguro's 'Nocturnes' - a book of stories with musical themes?
  10. Snow today; heavy, wet, chilly stuff that stuck, at least for a while. Made me shiver just looking at it.
  11. Finished a draft of a Christmas piece; it gave me a lot of trouble and I probably will have to fix it up considerably.
  12. Wife Nancy contributes to NYTimes blog on high heels: http://bit.ly/84RZA
  13. Working on Christmas music.
  14. After a nasty bluescreen-of-near-death encounter, I'm back up and finally getting to work on a song cycle.
  15. Arranged/wrote another handbell piece for my adult group.
  16. @foundsounds Enjoyed listening to 'Repeated Measures', thanks.
  17. @jayuhfree Good titles are so hard to come by! I sometimes go on a hunt for titles through art & poetry books and write lists for later.
  18. @minim Thanks - the Holga takes a lot of getting used to, but I'm liking it a lot. Next roll is black & white - another experiment...
  19. http://twitpic.com/gsunq - What soft focus can do (Holga).
  20. http://twitpic.com/gsu25 - An overcast day in Newburyport.
