going back to the well

spending some time with my sweetie and the cats (and hopefully my kids and grandkids too). planning to make a recording (which my middle dtr requested a coupla yrs ago) of songs i usedta sing them when they were small plus some acoustic fingerstyle shit i practice when i'm not otherwise engaged, with the moron-level instructions my big sis gave me for garageband and andre's acoustic. re-reading ben watson's frank zappa: the negative dialectics of poodle play and the book about 20th century classical music that my sister-in-law gave me last xmas. listening to fz, messiaen, harry partch, stravinsky, mingus. scheming and plotting musical projects for next year. digging the fact that our new president's va-ca in hawaii is forcing journos to have to explain what spam musubi is. contemplating multiple reminders of mortality. life's a blast, hope it's gonna last.
