It’s a celebratory time of year. Sunday was Mother’s Day. Social media was abuzz all weekend with graduation announcements. Wedding season is gearing up. And summer vacation is just around the corner.
So is the 2022 TJC Spring Jam. This year, I’m making the first portion of the Jam into a recital for my private music students. That’s going to make for a fun evening, and I suspect it will boost attendance—all those parents and family members coming out to hear L’il Billy play his piano piece.
Last fall, I submitted a piece to Self-Reliance, a magazine about independent living, entitled “The Front Porch Concert: Opportunity for Musicians in The Age of The Virus.” They accepted it and cut me a check some time ago, and I’ve been waiting patiently for the article’s publication ever since.
Much to my delight, I arrived home from a school event Saturday evening to find the Summer Issue, Issue #25 of Self-Reliance, in my mailbox. There on page twelve is my article, taking up four beautiful pages.
