Not a bad day...
It's days like today that remind me why I do what I do...
Started by teaching a class on the History of Rock, then heard a guest lecture by a visiting Czech scholar, Jan Vicar, who introduced me to some interesting mid-century music by Czech composers (Bohuslav Martinu was perhaps the most interesting of the bunch). After lunch with Jan, grabbed a quick drink at our local watering hole before a piano recital by my friend (and excellent pianist) Ann. Just now, as I sit down to catch up on a few emails, I discover that I've had a piece accepted at a small festival in Kearney, Nebraska.
Gosh, I hate shameless self promotion, but all in all, not a bad day!

University of Nebraska, Kearney? Isn't that the home of Darleen (Cowles) Mitchell, of ACA fame? Which piece did they accept?
