I want this dog


You ever go to someone's house a friend or relative maybe who has a pet? You ever fall in with that pet and want to steal it? Has that pet ever been your mother-in-laws? Well thats the pickle I got myself into. Her name is molly and man is she a chilled out dog. She is in love with my fiance jennie and I and i would love nothing more then to take her to my new home in a few months, but I think that is an impossibility. You see the dog also belongs to jennies younger sister casey who is 10 and happens to be quite the lovely little girl herself. So i truly believe that i have no choice but to say goodbye to my good friend in a few months and just hope and pray that we get a pup who is half as amazing as my girl molly!

Jumpin swingin rockin rollin

You ever try something you have always wanted to do before and wind up loving it. Me and jennie took our first dance class in preparations for the wedding this past week and wow it was awesome. Its so cool to learn about music in a different way after studying it for 8 years on the performance side. I can't wait to be confident in my dancing so jennie and I can really tear it up. It has really been a lot of fun. This past week has also been the introduction to spring, and the fresh air feels amazing! My students however are enjoying it so much they feel its not important to come to lessons! So that has been a downfall but all in all a nice change.

52, warm, and funny!

Wonderful day, weather was just fine. We have had a boat load of snow here in new york so 52 and clear skies was a pleasant change of pace. Wedding plans was the name of the game today, but the end result was connection. It was so wonderful to spend the day with my future wife just talking and planning for our big day. We travel from one side of long island to the other. Stopping at our vineyard our florist a bakery and tea house and yes Bed Bath and Beyond as well (we did have enough time). Came home to a house full of family members and pizza! Im going to bed smiling and it has been the first time in a long while. It feels right, I am starting to feel like myself again. There is something to be said about how the country air and good conversation can clean your soul. I feel clean and can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. The forecast says another beautiful day fingers crossed.

WET DAY NO WAY!

Lazy day here but a very eventful lesson! Today at 345 i taught a drum student i have had for 4 years now. When he first should up it was difficult to get this boy to talk let alone play. Now he can improvise so confidently it would seem as if we were playing a song but we a really making it up on the spot! He listens when he plays and makes music not noise. I play bass during the lesson when we work on improvisation, the jams we get into are pretty intense. It is so rewarding to be around a person you have positively influenced. You made an impact on a person future, it makes all the work worth it. I am looking forward to a lifetime of lessons, questions and answers.
