Just got done playing music for 6 hours straight. 3 hours on drums, 3 hours on keyboard. It was great, exciting, interesting, invigorating, and exhausting. I was happy everything was sounding solid since I hadn't been able to play on an actual drumset (or keyboard) for over a week during spring break. But everything sounded solid, got some James Brown breakbeats down, played some good jazz, then played some great funk. We have a gig Friday night, I'm excited for it and I think it will go well. Hopefully we won't get cut off partway through this time! Though if the cops shut down the bar that would be cool, and appropriate since the bar is called Prohibition.
Classes were also good today. Not too much work in the next few days, which is nice because I'll be very busy with music. Onwards and upwards!

Ligia, by Stan Getz, from The Best of Both Worlds. If I start trying to sing for real this is the first song I'm going to try to sing.
