What a day

So I sat up writing that paper most the morning (I think I got to sleep around 5:00am).  No big deal.  Well… I slept through the class it was for (Philosophy), and as cool as our teacher is, she does not except late work (which is reasonable). 

The day didn’t get any better after that…

However, I am trying to do my best and keeping a good attitude on here.  So, I’ll do my best.

Lets see.  What’s a topic that I can write about… *hums Jeopardy theme to self*  Usually I don’t have this much trouble with a topic.

I’m sitting here at work listening to Yahoo!Launch.  It’s a channel called “Matini Lounge.”  Not a bad station if I do say so myself.  Easy, vocal and instrumental jazz from around the world.  Its really nice.

Speaking of Jazz, I was at memorial service for the man our Concert Hall here on campus is named after.  He died about 2 weeks ago, so the school got together a few groups to perform at this memorial service for him.  It was really nice.  A bit too much talking and not enough music if you ask me, but otherwise it was very well done.

Anyway, connection to Jazz… getting there.  One of Mr. Lagerquist’s favorite types of music was Jazz.  So at the end of the service, a Jazz ensemble came out and played a hymn tune Dixieland style.  Very well done.  After the first song, they played a standard while the family and everyone else filed out of the hall.  I just sat there listening.  I forgot how much I love Jazz.  Something about it… something wonderful.

I wish more than anything that I could get back into it.  Maybe at my recital I’ll play a couple tunes.  That would be cool.  We’ll see. 

Well, I should get back to work.  Maybe I’ll leave another entry a bit later.
