January 20

Oof. That DOE grant was a huge effort. But it's done now. That is a load off. It has been a lovely evening of eating pasta, drinking Belgian and German beer, and watching GBBO. 

While playing bass guitar tonight, I just played what sounded good to me. Even if you don't play for 2, 3, 4, as many measures as you don't play, if you let that be your guiding light, you will end up playing what's in your head. It's easier to be creative when you don't fear other people's judgment or you don't feel pressured to come up with something really awesome. I should remember that. Music is just another way of speaking your truth.

Onward.
