From Beyond

Hola. Yet another long day starting with playing bass for hire on a recording session. I snuck in a little yoga (to my video tape),
and about a two mile jog. I taught some lessons and then worked out at the gym with weights. My goal is to get into top shape before I video tape my bass solo songs, hopefully by August I'll be ready. My son has been more than kind and helpful in posting my student's videos to youtube from the June 13th recital which I held at Avamere Rehabilitation center. I'm going to try to get eight hours of sleep tonight. Blessings to all. Nighty night! xxoo

From Beyond
From beyond
Into the night
I see the sights deep
Within my yawn
Days flying by
Not knowing why
Experiencing a
Forever sigh
From beyond
Into the night

Bass Girl

Hola! Okay, I remember hearing the birds chirping while I lay in bed this morning. I was still awake, from too much coffee, and it must have been about 6 am. Therefore, I probably obtained about 2 hours of sleep before embarking on my day. I taught some violin and guitar lessons today, and my son came home from college. Returning from my gig tonight with the band Brainstorm in Lynnwood, I watched Thursday's Project Runway show. It was exciting because this is the last challenge before the designers show their collections at Bryant Park. The four designers picked for the final show are: Emilio Sosa, Jay Nicolas Sario, Mila Hermanovski, and Seth Aaron Henderson. My inspiration is derived from the Project Runway show and from playing bass at so many gigs. Love to all. Nighty night. xxoo

Bass Girl
Bass girl
Bass girl
Do you need someone
To bow and pluck
Your strings?
Do you need someone
To complete your duet
And make your music sing
Bass girl
Bass girl
Waiting in the wings
Who will the magic carpet bring?

Drunken Bass

Okay, well I have five minutes to complete and post my blog. Last night I got home at 3 am after playing a gig with a blues/punk band, Blue 55. I got about 4 hours of sleep and taught some music lessons today, and then I set up my music studio so that I can compose and post music to my blog. I wrote my first song with the Pro tools set up using a conga loop and my stand up bass. The song sounded like drunken bass, hence the inspiration and title for my poem and illustration. Once I figure out how to post music on here, I'll add the track.

Drunken Bass

Drunken bass
Sliding down your strings
Yeow, woo, woo
That is how
Your song goes
Behind the beat a bit
Then slightly faster
Woo, wo, wo, woo
Is how the
Song of the drunken bass flows
