hectic monday

well... the week begins. mondays are usually one of my favorite days of the week, because its a day i have music stuff ALL day.

rehearsal from 8:30-2:30 (preparations for the recording studio next monday) we actually got the music early this time.. and have had time to work on it. this recording session is a bit different from what i normally do. we have 10 demo songs to do.. and a commercial for Rock Financial. i'll just have about a 10 second spot in that.. so its not that exciting... but.. i got to meet the singer last night.. which was pretty cool. she is from my area, but has worked in the recording business a LONG time. she has done voice overs for movies, and even was the voice in one of the disney movies (small part). she travels between california, detroit, and memphis doing recording work.. the cool thing is... she and i were talking during a break last night, and she knows an old boyfriend of mine (who still works in the recording industry)

this guy (stephen) that we both know has his own recording studio now. He lives with his wife, and twins just a few hours away from me. we did exchange family pictures and emails about 5 years ago.. but really haven't kept in touch. although things didn't work out for us when we were dating (in college) i've always considered him to be a good guy and a friend.

the singer is going to record in stephen's studio in june, and will let him know i'm back in town. so... hopefully if he needs a flute player for future projects he will call me...its really a small world we live in.

after rehearsal this morning.. i have a doctor appointment and then a playing job tonight. bill just told me that he is traveling this week, gone today thru wednesday night. i hate it when he doesn't tell me until the day he is traveling. he isn't traveling as much with this job... most of it domestic, but still... a couple days notice would be nice.

btw, i delivered my two picture projects to my friends last night. the one with the 50 yr old picture i restored... next to the new picture... she loved the project. she has given me 4 more photos to restore for her :P

the other lady... the one when i converted the pictures to b/w then tinted them for her... is extremely picky. (which is odd because the pictures she gave me to work with weren't very good. just out of focus snapshots) anyway.. she liked 2 out of the 3 images i fixed for her, but has requested that do some different things to the last image.. so i'll work on that as soon as i get time.

ok, i'm gonna be late for rehearsal.. i gotta go!
