well hello there!
you'd think i'd have been crazy busy. it's been nearly a month since i've written! WOWZERS!
welp, we're back in st george again, and it's a rainy week. blech. i'd hate to be a passenger this week.
i'm officially an aunt of week-old cole alexander kallin! he's a cutie!
i finished my first paid arrangement a couple weeks ago. the director is very happy. i've just been hired by another director in indiana for a couple more tunes. hooray!
and the most news: a guest entertainer duo was on here the end of july for two weeks. they've been touring the college circuit through a booking agency, which is how they wound up on ships. anyway, they've become a valuable relationship and network, which could be an employment option post-ship. it's tough to play shows by yourself, even if you can accompany yourself. well, prayer answered. tim (drummer, uk) and shawn (guitarist, canada) and i have decided to plan on going for it. might need to find a bass player, but that's cool. SO, i think you can find me in nashville come next year, hopefully playing out with new friends! YEAH!
so, if anybody needs a roommate... haha! that's next. :o) at any rate, yeah! that is the hypothetical plan for now.
oo, and we're planning on a halloween show in october. doing things like 'i put a spell on you' and 'thriller'...maybe even 'zombie' by the cranberries. yeah! how fun! any suggestions, we need to have 12-ish songs. :o)
next week we get to do another show in hamilton. i think blake and i might do our 'misery' duet from his recital. yay fun! i doubt we'll be docking there though. which is unfortunate, because it means we have a time limit on the show. gotta catch the ferry!
oo, and i BOUGHT MY KEYBOARD on saturday! it's kind of amazing. it tucks in nicely at the foot of my bed. it sounds INCREDIBLE and records like a dream. my goodness. good purchase.
nothing too manic-exciting, but all is well aboard the majesty!
and if you're bored, make sure you youtube our current guest entertainer, chantz powell. he's a singing-tap-dancing-trumpet player that does big band tunes. and he's 21. RIDICULOUS. :o)
