The Long Day
Today's soundtrack: The Miles Davis Group, Tokyo, Japan, 1985
The day was long.
Some days are like that.
There are days that just end up disappointing, you disappoint yourself, you disappoint others, and others disappoint you. Damn.
There are days where that does not happen. Remember?
I once played with a singer songwriter friend and she would say, no matter what happens, just smile.
Even if the gig was going terribly.
It makes a difference.
I try to remember that.

THE REVIEW Don’t Weed Out Students. Help Them Flourish.  Students are not seeds with some predetermined yield. Seeing them as such hinders teaching and flies in the face of a growing body of scientific evidence. |
