I am writing some new music that is harder work than any composing I have ever done. For example it is frustrating to write 40 or so bars of music for five instruments only to realize you don't like it. I know that seems strange but I am hoping it is not a trend.

Oddly enough the music I enjoyed the most today in my work hours was improvising on the fiddle along with a rough banjo demo I made of this new piece. Hmmm....maybe a banjo/fiddle duet record?

Too much computer tonight but that is part of the job. Letting people know about the December 11 gig with the Creaking Tree String quartet. (cool double bill eh?)

later,
