Tom's Status

My time has been taken up lately with the nursing of our Dachshund Tom. He is doing a lot better now. He can sit up by himself and yesterday he actually was able to take two or three steps on his own. He is down to just three medications every other day. But he still requires extensive nursing by the whole family.

Also about ten days ago we had another medical emergency, my father called at 3:30 in morning saying he felt he might be having another heart attack, (he had one several years ago) so we rushed off to take him to the hospital. He ended up staying for one day in the hospital, and in the end (Thank the Lord) it turned out to be a false alarm.


Meanwhile I have found a little time work on some music.

I have finished the actual composing of a work for woodwinds (in fours) and keyboard percussion. Still no working title yet, but maybe something like Seven Prayers for the Buddha. The piece still needs to be “sanded”, id est all of the dynamics marks, accents, and phrase markings doubled and triple check. Then it need to be “realize” in Sonar.


I have also gotten back to working on my mix of Kiyone's Mood . Just added a drum solo to it and just need to do some final tweaking in a couple of places.

I publish the score to The Four Freedoms to SibeliusMusic. Both the score and an MP3 file are now available.
