"Old Mr. Satan, he got mad,
lost that soul that he thought he had. Pharaoh's army got drowned, Oh Mary Don't You Weep."
- Negro Spiritual
Happy 88th birthday to my dad!
Played two Masses today. Did a great version of "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" during the prelude which actually led to applause by the congregation (!). No practice today but feel good about my decision to stick to the Melodic improv book. Did a lot of traveling these past few days due to it being Easter.
Enjoyed the Flyers and Phillies winning today.
The Easter Challenge / 2014:
1) Work for one year (or less if it takes less) mostly just on the Fewell book with regards to learning improvisation.
2) Put a big hold on buying instructional materials and equipment.
3) Keep using Conti's "Assembly Line" method to amass 24 songs in my repertoire, after which get more into his "The Formula!"
4) Assess how I did with #'s 1-3 above next Easter, 2015.
