Subject: RE: BS: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Snowed in today, over here in Connecticut. We're likely going to get more snow today than the total amount of snow we've had all winter. I like being snowed in. Of course, it depends on who you're snowed in with. Sometimes, I tell my wife that it looks like we're going to be snowed in, even in July. It's all a state of mind.   The timing is just right, too. We got our first practice in last night with all five of us and we're learning to work with each other. I don't care what musical group you are talking about, whether it's the Beatles, or Oasis, or a church choir, mandolin quartet or Jazz trio. Groups usually fall apart because there is no spiritual harmony: even when the musical harmony is wonderful. You can take music classes and learn music, but it's much harder to learn spiritual harmony. (I'm not talking exclusively about religious harmony, because Atheists can have spiritual harmony.) The nest thing about practice last night was that everyone was respecting everyone else and we were all working together for a common goal. Our first couple of practices together were stressful, because a couple of the guys were pushing their own agenda too much.
I think we've gotten past that, now.

Today, I'll work on burning CDs for friends... will do the second African music CD, and get some CDs off to Catters, too.

If it isn't snowing where you are, take a snow day, anyway..
