The Joy Singers accomplished our Christmas album recording goals today, but — boy oh boy — is it an exhausting process!
The six traditional carols are “in the can” (as they say); one more full day and we’ll be done.
What we did today
Consistency is the goal
What a great example of a picture being worth a thousand words!
I’ve experienced the truth of this many times in my life but have never understood it so clearly before.
Discovering my high school self
I’m intrigued to realize what a head-in-the-clouds dreamer I was in high school!
The closest thing to practical on this list of goals is the last one: move out after graduation. At least that had some bearing on real life.
Well, I did manage to attend some little bit of the Monterey Jazz Festival (although I don’t remember a single thing about it). And I did go to Europe with a jazz band when I was seventeen.
But the Montreux Jazz Festival (in Geneva, Switzerland)?!? Buy a Porsche (or/and an Austin Healy)?!? Visit the South Pacific?!? Go to the Olympics (mind you, only as a spectator)?!?
I’m pretty sure that at this point in my life I didn’t have a job, and wasn’t even looking for one.
Grounded in life’s practicalities I was not. 🤦♀️
Sometimes there’s nothing there
Tonight is one of those times.
Which makes it the perfect moment to remind myself that the primary goal of this blog is to simply do it. To write something every day, regardless of whether it’s “good” or “interesting” or “worthwhile.”
So, mission accomplished, despite having absolutely nothing to say.
