The longer I play with these boys, the more I find myself enjoying our tasks. We have a lot of fun, and I can tell everyone in the quintet loves what they do. Everyone also is pretty darn good (and that's good).
I am continually comforted by the realization that I'm doing professionally now as an adult what I dreamed and longed for as a kid. I'm not at the end yet, and I certainly haven't achieved all my goals yet. But I will.
Oh, I will.
The following are some snaps I took at a couple of our summer activities - a Catholic wedding out in Wichita Falls and a brass clinic we just completed this week in Bridgeport, TX. I was so moved at how well we were received in Bridgeport - and, come to think of it, at the wedding in Wichita Falls. People seem to be truly blessed hearing us play. I love that. I think that's a good sign that we're doing good things.
Wedding...
Bridgeport...
I hope one day I can do a lot of touring. I enjoyed meeting and talking to some of our audience members after our Bridgeport concert. They asked me questions about what I'm doing and my professional work, but we also talked some about life (in Bridgeport and other places). I love people and I love music. Hope to get more of both as time marches on.
