Humility

It is a humbling experience, to say the least, to sit at a piano keyboard and try to compose the notes for the opening couplet of a music drama. Vague music in my head but too vague, so I fiddle around, just like fiddling around on the guitar, and wait for something to sound right. This project will take a long time. May the gods continue their watch over me.

First day of class! I'm excited. I do enjoy teaching -- well, most of it. I'm just about ready. But first, a bit of time composing this morning, my goal to write maybe two bars that sound right to me.
