Indian Summer


An "Indian summer" is defined on wikipedia as a period of sunny, warm weather in autumn, not long before winter. It is also the title of one of Dave Brubeck's recent solo releases.

I had the rare privilege of seeing Dave Brubeck in concert and it will always be a shining memory in my lifetime.

I welled up a bit in pondering about the idea that Dave's "winter" could be around the corner. I hope that when my winter comes I will have made such an impact in this world and inspired as many people with my music as he has.

My heart is so full of music right now that it could burst and at the same time... it is guarded and doesn't know how to let any out. The paradox of speechless exuberance I suppose.

This blog is my feeble attempt at writing more. If you have a moment give Indian Summer a listen it may not do much for you at all... but you will have at least had the opportunity to meet me where I am at tonight. In particular "Summer Song."

Perhaps I'll write again sooner than later... bear with me ;-)

Until then,
Adieu

Spelling Counts...

I must say... I've never had my named spelled this way before. I'm not sure quite what to make of it. My feeling is that the cashier doesn't have any friends name Greg or Gregg, or even... Craig. Maybe they just were hoping for a conglomerate friend? Anyway I submit this for proof and for your own humorous commentary.
