Off to play music with my buddy, Michael

This was a rare week in that I worked every day of the week. As a result I didn't get much work done on the book I'm writing, but I did gather information that may find its way into the book. It's funny that I just finished reading Oh Boy!, a book about early childhood educators' misunderstandings about how to deal with rowdy boys. Then (see my recent post) I witnessed first-hand exactly what was being described in that book. It will be good to relax with Michael. We'll play music, kick back, and maybe drink a couple of beers. He's the fella who records the music I play that Vanny from MyLot (@Vandana7) posts to YouTube with the help of DJ, also from MyLot Most of my MyLot friends are familiar with my tunes, but maybe I'll attach a link to one at the end of this post. Playing music and working with difficult kids are two of my favorite things to do. How was your Friday?

I don't even remember how a library looks. We don't have any around. May be they are there somewhere that I don't know.

@TheHorse Its Friday, everyone wanted to get their drink on. Horsing around is a good way to make unique music. You like what I did there. Admit it, you like that one.

It was fun! I wouldn't say we were totally "in the zone," but we did some good tunes.

He is ok...I can't say the best. If I had to choose a SAD song out of the ones pony comes up with, I prefer Pony's Last train from poor valley..

Someday you will be victim of my target practice...the darts...start enjoying life, because you are dangerously close to that date.

Maybe you'll share a little slice of the jam session. That would be a fun video. I like the rawness of just sitting down and doing "the thing." Meanwhile I will go and check out Souvenirs.

He has great voice. And he is a great composer too. Issue is... he is stubborn.

Thanks, Jim. But why the "sir" in your comment? Makes me feel "old." Heh.

@vandana7 He IS stubborn, isn't he. An old fool, really. A codger. But talented. Go figure.

@CarolDM I had fun at work today. That kid I've mentioned (with language delays) has made real strides in his speaking.
