May Erlewine's album "Golden" won the "Jammie" of the year, and the "best Americana album of the year" in Grand Rapids, MI. GO May! And yes, Golden is epic.   

Transitions 2.0...

And here it is again, the transition from the academic me to the artist me! Classes are over as of yesterday and this morning I recorded some Bach on my new cello - it's a rehearsal tape for the 16 ballerinas with whom I will perform in May. Many thanks to my friend Dave Schall! First time I heard the cello outside of Finland. I don't hate it. 

Many plans in motion, brain in overload from all the fun things I want to do this summer. First and foremost, I will get back on the Popper train (see this blog post). Secondly, I will finish the Lullaby Recording - I know I said that last summer,  but now I have the materials together and an actual date. I guess this creative process moves sometimes a little slower than I thought.
