Blogophilia 46.15: Wherever She Goes

Blog topic parameters & how it works HERE

Hard Bonus: Include a song title that mentions something celestial

Easy Bonus: Incorporate a memory of your mother

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to think of a positive memory of my mother, even though she’d bought me a tenor sax for Christmas one year… She always had ulterior motives. It’s why I tend to stick with my Godmother, who is my aunt, who has always been good to me. Wherever She Goes, my heart is with her.

In case you missed last week’s Wind Ensemble & Community Band’s concert, here is the LIVESTREAM – music starts at 11:30

In this economic crisis, it’s hard to not think that there is a Bad Moon On The Rise. Because of the low census at the place I work, every department is cutting back a little bit on hours. It doesn’t affect me much since I don’t have a lot of hours to begin with, so I just feel like it’s good that I’m playing in the Racine Concert Band, which has a show coming up.

  • Who: The RCB with Case High School Band
  • What: Concert with both groups & combined piece at the end
  • Where: Case High School 7345 Washington Avenue Racine, WI
  • When: Thursday, May 23, 2024 @ 7pm
  • How: Please purchase tickets online HERE, as there will be no cash sales on site
  • Why: It’s good for you.

More info next week. Happy Mother’s Day to you all, birth moms, adopted moms, stepmoms, foster moms, pet moms, surrogate moms, and all of you! I work later, but my son is doing steak dinner.

Blogophilia 45.15: WRITER’S CHOICE – Choices, Choices!

Hard Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE – use a song lyric about sunshine

Easy Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE – mention knocking

The Doors

Life, I tell you is absolutely nuts! Between the windows of opportunity to opportunity knocking, things can get confusing… Which door am I behind? Or am I supposed to pick one and knock? I don’t know, maybe I should just go Knockin’ On Every Door (Roxette), and hope I don’t get lost, though if I do, I could be the Queen Of The Highway & hope to keep up… Or, just Cover Me In Sunshine!

*sigh* anyway, I get a week off to take a breath, and next week starts a busy rehearsal schedule for a Racine Concert Band with Case High School Concert on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at 7pm at Case High School. It’s a great way for those of us who are more experienced to help mentor young musicians to pursue it, professionally or personally. The pandemic really took a toll on the arts. This is a great way to put the track back into alignment.

Anyway, off to start cleaning & cooking! Today is Cinco de Mayo, and I’m making taco rice!
