Hello readers! I apologize for it having been a number of months since the first part of my multi-part installment on DIY improvisation instruction. It is quite a large undertaking and, quite frankly, life has been crazy since that last post. I've been living and traveling all over the place for a number of reasons, including the continued search for steady employment, a friend's wedding (where I was the best man), short substitute teaching and janitoring assignments, and a sudden burst of gigs in December. It's been wild, but I'm still alive...somehow!
I've done some updating/slight adjusting around the website. The most notable change is the addition of a "previous gigs" link on my Calender tab. After talking with other musicians and browsing around for myself, I thought it would be nice to avoid too much clutter on the page for people looking for my future engagements while allowing potential bookings and curious individuals to see where I've been recently. I will probably be listing a year at a time on there starting from this past December.
I've recently been sitting in with a group based in South Jersey called "Swing That Cat." They took a number of videos during our New Year's Eve gig. I'm hoping to post one or two of those to my YouTube channel. I'm just waiting to get the ok from them...because asking before using someone else's stuff is always a good thing to do.
Finally, I will be getting back to this blog. We'll see what that means exactly, but I will at least try to complete what I started with my last post.
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me in some way recently, whether it be financially or spiritually. It's been a wild ride, but it's been amazing to see how many people are interested in what I've been doing and genuinely want to see me succeed. I truly am lucky to have such great people around me wherever I go.
Onward to 2014! May all of you have an amazing year!
