I’ve seen ads for this film and assume it is Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy adjacent.

Got my copy! I called around to a few places and found one.

There, I decorated my classroom door.

A wooden door with three sheets of yellow legal pad paper taped to it. First says “orchestra” in block letters, second is a cartoon drawing of the teacher, third reads “music composed by humans, performed by humans, to connect with other humans.

Cleaning house - came across this folder of music I transcribed from neumatic notation for a class in grad school. Also I think I’m just going to recycle it - haven’t looked at it or thought about it since completing the class.

Green pocket folder opened up to show music transcriptions

We made cutout Christmas cookies with our teenage boys. Left to right: a gingerbread man, a crewmate from ‘Among Us’, a figure we call ‘torso man’ which I don’t know what it was originally but is now hopelessly bent out of shape, a holly leaf, another torso man, and a sand worm.

I used to take off my watch when I was younger but leave it on now. Always wear my wedding ring - teach all day playing violin, viola, cello, and bass. Neither seems to interfere with my playing.

I was looking through some of my old lesson books and found this: a hall pass from my high school orchestra teacher. Made me think about him. I don’t think either of us ever dreamed I would one day be doing the same job in the same district in the same building

The rain gutter outside my house needed repair, so the Town came and dug the old section up, severing this tree root in the process. They fixed the concrete section and filled it back up leaving the tree root in place, protruding up several inches above the soil. I thought it needed something, so…

I made a thing! It’s a fold-down station for my son to do his CAD work for his 3D printing.

I saw this and it looked like fun but I am going to take it next level and not make it transactional - click in to this thread to view all my answers without having to like anything. Because when something is named MUSIC ASK it deserves to be addressed. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

I was today years old when I learned that Mayor McCheese plays the bass. With a bow even!

No qualms getting rid of this though:

My boys are 18 and 16 - working on cleaning out unneeded items. We got rid of most of their old toys without too much problem, but today I’m working on the kids’ books. Difficult to dispatch - each book carries a specific memory of reading it together.

My summer studio. Finally making some progress.

All the concerts, rehearsals and lessons are over and the children have gone home. A wise teacher will use this moment to prepare for the upcoming school year. Anyway, I feel like I’m ready now.

So I teach in the same district where I went to school K-12. Ran across this gem in my high school library today - my #1 favorite from elementary school orchestra (it’s long out of print now). No idea how it made its way into the high school stacks but we’re playing it tomorrow.

Going through my cupboards, found this in a recipe book from 1938.

Found this in a cupboard. Putting it up here for all the old folks and Rochesterians.

It might be the last thing on your mind, but I’ve got reasons a-plenty for going. I am playing bass after all. Come on out and see us!

I made a pie. Also I have two teenage sons.

I'm pretty sure zero of the people following me are in the Rochester area, but if you happen to be visiting on March 1 you could come see me play bass in this band!
