As snow rains down in Bmore (can snow rain down?), and all my plans for the day get cancelled, I’ve decided to do a quick write-up. Stream of conscious thoughts in 3, 2, 1….
- Ndelible had a great show at Towson University the other day. I love that band. We really are a fam
- The great Walter Beasley has been kind enough to invite me to play with him at the Birchmere again. Playing with Walt is always a pleasure. He’s a great teacher (to any aspiring saxophonists out there, he does lessons online via Skype). The show is February 6th. Tickets are available via ticketmaster for just under $40. Hope to see some of ya’ll there.
- Snow has lost every bit of allure it used to have.
- This may be my favorite UMBC semester. Most of my classes are electives this time around. Really looking forward to Jazz History, Civil Rights, Intro to Newswriting, and Art of the Essay. Oh…and Physical Fitness
- I continue to be impressed by our President. I don’t agree with him in everything, but I appreciate the way he runs his administration…the fairness he seems to bring to the table. This morning I’ve been watching his meeting with Republican lawmakers in Bmore yesterday. The video is below. There was a little bit of partisan bickering, but the majority of it was substantive debate. It can seem boring at times, but this is how politics needs to be run. I’m tired of 30 second commercial snippets (on both sides).
