It was a blow to give up work after such a hard year because I couldn’t find a sitter for my sweet little kids. If you got to play today or have a concert tonight, give the person who called you for your talent, and kept you safe, extra props. Also, hydrate.
As for me, taking vacation on a holiday is a new experience, but I’m making the most of it. πππ½π¦π»π§π»π§π»ππΊπΈ

Last June, I was running out of our apartment at 6:42 every night to play in front of a hospital 10 blocks away. I didn’t know it then, but it was an experience that opened my musical path and showed me why I’ve been doing what I do, but didn’t quite understand.
A year later, I get to represent the Music for Healing and Transition Program on their Thursdays with Therapeutic Music series via Facebook Live! At 8pm, I’ll be sharing information about MHTP’s mission to serve patients through music and what my work as a CMP-in-training has meant to me. Tune in tomorrow night, link in comments!

Very cool playing with @patriotbrass for Flag Day in Staten Island! Awesome Veterans at the concert, great people who run these events, and @manhattanskier broke out the tenor horn! (@andykemp_tpt and @rmcbridedrums were on the other side πͺπ½)

I don’t run @patriotbrass in any way, but I stand back, listen, and learn a lot. It has been the only ensemble to call me regularly in NYC since 2014, so I’m a loyal follower.
Memorial Day is the biggest day in the season for Patriot Brass, and it was jilting to miss it last year. It’s common to associate Memorial Day with sales and cookouts, but I’ve learned through this group that it’s a deep and somber day. I often nod and say “Memorial Day”, because after working with PBE, “Happy Memorial Day” just feels wrong now.
Gold Star families are families who lost a loved one in combat. Memorial Day is for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and for those who are haunted every day by loss. This weekend, my music is in service of them, and I am privileged for it.

Hey fam: today was my birthday! I’m getting older, but I am still a kid when it comes to the big day. I spent it walking around NYC with my kids and rippin’ on Mahler 3 and Shost 5: my two favorite things to do. β€οΈπ―πͺπ½π¦π»π§π»
I hope y’all can find joy in your own days as we’re making our way out of the pandemic. We have a few months left to play whatever we want to play and do whatever we want to do: let’s just make them some awesome months. You know, for my birthday. π

Ever pull up a chart and think “ok, ok, I get the message, it’s been a long pandemic geez.” πππ
Grateful to be back in the chair playing for @patriotbrass again. They’ve been the only group that’s called me to work as a professional horn player since last October. I’ll take it, and I’m glad I get to make some music for Veterans that still can’t leave long-term care facilities.πͺπ½π―
