listened to the grammy awards the other night and of course the only thing on it was the vocalism of bochelli. but any singer will tell you it is hard to sing sitting down so i was pretty surprised to hear a note out of myself (just one note) on my lightbulb video tape that i made out of my studio when i moved to ca in 85. it took a lot of getting it too and its a gift when you get a note..that decides to go back in the head where it belongs because of the effort. pure athleticism. talent is a whole other thing. didn't think i had a copy of this tape as i gave the only one (i thought) to a friend. my lighting was tacky..all of these bullet lamps..piano one and floor one and light bulbs right on my face. it was six hours of conducting practicing, mainly beethoven 1 which i worked pretty hard at lots of singing and accompanying myself..lieder..some feeble attempts at strenuous exercises and of course the piano which i play. the phone rings..i jig around to some of the 80's radio stuff which i was stuck with whilst teaching high school..for a break and well...lack of quality...through and through..the only thing worth writing about is that i never thought i would be goofy enough to send it to someone..for response.
