I finally re-strung my guitar with silk and steel strings. I’ve been playing steel strings since I’ve been playing guitar, and find that I’d like some subtler sound.

For Valentine’s Day, I received to my surprise a gorgeous iPad 2, complete with a red leather case. Tonight I installed around 15 apps, all useful for my work. I am so excited I’m not so sure I can sleep tonight. I probably should, though.

I do not listen to music very often. I much prefer filling my space when I’m alone with the sound of TV in another room, or NPR downstairs, or more likely one of the many podcasts I love. I know. I’m a musician. I’m a music therapist. I should live and breathe music. I’ll tell [...]
