Blogging, or lack thereof....
Many people have been asking me "what's up with the blog? when are you going to post again soon?" I figured it was time for me to actually answer those questions....
I am officially in a blogging funk. I simply am not bothered about blogging anymore. Maybe it's due to circumstances. Venzago getting fired by the ISO's incompetent CEO was a major blow to me. I have yet to see a classical music concert this season, actually. (I've played in 3 concerts, but haven't attended one yet). His firing really, really bummed me out.
Then I was supposed to head out west for some Mahler, only to have massive circumstances and all sorts of other drama stop me.
Then of course, there was the summer---where I hardly blog at all, because I'm too busy enjoying the summer.
But now it's fall/winter, and you'd think I'd be back in to the swing of things, but...sigh.....I'm not. I moved six months ago, and now have unfortunately moved back, due to all sorts of ridiculous, stupid, and horribly sad reasons. But even before this move, I've been just kinda layin' low.....I've been kinda silent in all areas of my life. To call it a depression would be going a bit too far, but it's not been far from that, really.
So, all that has added up, and VOILA! No blog postings. Plus I haven't been reading other people's blogs, really. I haven't been following up on what's going on in the musical world, save anything to do with Mario Venzago.
I do have an entry I hope to post semi-soon, about young whipper snappers who want a job in an orchestra, and how to go about it. (first bit of advice: find something else to do, because you won't make it.) That's in progress, currently. Yes, I know everyone else has written on that topic. But I'll throw in a bit of my amazing personality, and it'll be a rather fun take on that topic. I hope.
Anyway, enough blabbing. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I don't know when I'll be around again regularly. It's occured to me that I might NOT be around regularly again, and I've entertained the idea of shutting down the blog. I dunno. I care, yet....I don't have much energy to care right now, not when there's so much going on around me.
So, dear readers. That's that. I'm sorry if I've let anyone down. Until later....
