READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Rainy Day Woman

So I gave my song its debut performance, it was also my debut performance with either of my partners (and their first time meeting one another!), and I really think it was a success. Waiting (impatiently) to listen to the recording that Sylvia shot, that she's sharing with me as we speak... [off to check messages] (I mean it sounded as I was playing it like a successful performance... and Sylvia and Ellen and Rebecca all were happy with it with it as well. Waiting to hear the recording of it for myself for confirmation.)

update Yep, it's a keeper! Will post soon.

The dropped beat -- the hiccup -- is happy.

🦋 Rainy Day Woman

A big step in my songwriting progress: next Sunday I'll be playing my song Rainy Day Woman at my teacher's recital in New Providence with Oliver Shapiro (my teacher) playing the first cello part and Rebecca Turner singing. So exciting! This will be the first public performance of any of my compositions that I've written since I started using Noteflight in earnest a few months ago, and is my first time having another cellist play my composition.

I've rehearsed it separately with Mr. Shapiro and with Rebecca, and feel confident/hopeful that the two of them will fit together seamlessly :). (Mindful of course of how it could not work out. Got my fingers crossed!)
