I'm going to Canadia!!!
And no, Libby, it's not a typo. say it out loud - it sounds funny. Like saying lesbonian instead of lesbian... heehee... funny words...
Anywho, I'm going to TOronto Canadia in January. Wheee!!!! The International Association of Jazz Education conference is there and I'm doing a clinic with my dad wheeeeee.
It's cool, I'm not doing much - I'm playing in a little combo with this madcool sax player and my fav jazz pianist EVER Hiro... my dad is going to record us and right then and there he's going to convert it into streaming stuff on the internet. It's way cool. Very educational.
And low stress for me - I just have to show up to CANADIA and play. Yippeee!!! I get to see Canadia!
And I'm goona sound way cool, too. See, the last few years I was in the jazz strings that I helped start and run at UNT and it was great... but I got maybe 3 chances a week to practice solos witha band and sound like a cool jazz musician.
But I'm in the niftiest combo here at the good ol' ASofU - the bass player is unbelievable and they let me solo bunches and bunches. I'm getting cool at this jazz thing.. or at least I will soon. There's a lot of freedom now, not being in a band with egos.. just making music with mad groovy guys.
Life is good.
I woke up this morning with the lights on and a phone cord wrapped around my neck.
Dude I'm nuts.
Also, I'm changing my life plans... I can't be away from Urmi for the rest of my life. I just can't.
SUPERCRACK is going to go get some more ice cream... numm numm.
