In which:
Trying to make practice more like play; spots I love; partial jazzy versions of 10/4, 10/2 and 1/7; the measure I still hate the most in 10/1; clave-ish rhythms in 25/12; dreaming of cake.
Recorded February 7, 2011
N.B. Please comment below if you have trouble with sound quality, volume, etc; I’m hoping to do an iTunes launch in the next few weeks, and I’d like to have all the bugs ironed out. Other feedback is very welcome, too! Thanks.
I seem to have angered the technology gods, and my recording didn’t work tonight. I’ll re-record, and post the new episode, tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
In which:
The tricky parts of 10/2 and 10/4 in (possibly) excruciating detail; still muddling through 10/1 and 10/7; a before version of 25/12; a little tangent on Bach; a cheerful assignment.
Recorded January 30, 2011
In which:
Some ruminations about the last couple of weeks (which, frankly, have not been conducive to practicing) and the big picture; trying for bite-sized goals; assigned shopping lists; crash-throughs of 10/1 and 10/4; a truly dreadful pun.

N.B. Please bear with, and accept my apologies for, the sound on this one; it sounds like a scratchy LP in places. I’ll take my gear (some of which is new) into the experts this week and try to figure out what’s wrong.
I’m not quite finished editing episode 6 (I don’t edit the playing, as I’m sure you can hear, but I do edit the talking); John’s in Nicaragua, Ben is sick, and my grandma died last night. I hope to have episode 6 up tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
In which:
The most musical fun I’ve had in a long time; helpful skeletons; making the strange stranger, not more normal; slooooooow metronome clicks.
