oh, i’ve been a lame blogger. lameblogger. i was reading about Pioneer Woman in the new yorker. she posts EVERY DAY AT 6AM. or something like that. but, I WILL NEVER BE LIKE THAT. oh well. who wants to live on a ranch, anyway.
so, a quick update. i am furiously writing new emily carr songs for the victoria symphony project. ford and giorgio are doing stunning orchestrations. i do hope we can take this to at least a few other places. if anyone has any friends who run a symphony, feel free to drop my name. also in the works: the final writing days for the Craigslist Cantata, which is going up at the arts club next january (a co-pro with the push festival). and then going on tour! next week i start recording the Peter Panties record with the Bank Dogs, a band of teenage boys who are taller and more skilled every day. also, the city of vancouver just gave some money towards a new project called Songs of the False Creek Flats, which i will be writing with Annabel Vaughan my new architect pal. that’ll go up in september. plus i’ve been coaching the teenager in how to ace a job interview, and playing dentist with the toddler (more fun than it sounds). so there, there’s all my lame excuses.
i’ll find a nice picture for the next post. promise.
