| | Hi All. I tend not to use LJ. I am on facebook, but I am weening myself off the internet as it just take too much time from other things. Russian posts are not spam, my nephew takes Russian and he likes Calvin and Hobbs, which I found on LJ in Russian. | compositions: 1 composed  Compose a comment   |

| | I have not written in this journal for 60 some weeks. That's just over a year. Much has happened. My nephew is now 16.5 and wanting more freedom. My father 79 and seemingly the same. And me? I am growing, changing, and maturing. I now have many more students than I have had in a long while. I am also a black belt is karate and bo. I produced a CD last fall which has had marginal sales - but I hope to sell some at an upcoming symphony concert as one of my pieces will be played - and that piece is on my CD. It is not a happy CD but about grief. BUT the last piece is uplifting and fun to play - it is the Irish piece Rinneadh Aisling Duinn - We Had a Vision. So, life is good. I have good friends both older and younger than me - and one or two nearer my age. | | compositions: 3 composed Compose a comment |
| Hey,
I don't use livejournal much - duh. Things are going well though I have a cold right now. I am also looking for homes for 4 terrior puppies - 4 months old. I may give them to a no kuill shelter as I simply can't keep them (as much as my nephew would like to keep them) My new CD will be out soon and that will be cool - | | compositions: Compose a comment |

| Today would have been the 78th birthday of my mother had she lived. Today one of our dogs gave birth to 4 lovely pupies - I hope it stays at 4. That makes the total count of dogs up to 11. I have had a good day seeing my Ayverdic Indian wellness practitioner and getting fresh veggies from the CSA program (pay a set amount and get organic veggies every week all summer into October.) I am tired, but ok.
I have ideas also about putting on a program of my music. I just have had a reading of the new string quartet - avaliable on myspace. myspace.com/kmll2007 We shall see. Things are really starting to look possible. | | compositions: Compose a comment |

| Where did May go? It came and is going it seems very fast. Anyway, I have joined eHarmony as I do want to find a soul mate / life partner and it doesn't seem to be happening. Seems people always looked over me. The profile report is really very close to what I think I am - and since I sent it to several people who know me who concur, I guess I have a firm grasp on who I am. I don't want to reveal that report here, but here is something from another online system though not for dating.

SUN IN CAPRICORN
You are responsible and practical to a fault. Your natural ambition and hard-working attitude brings you success although slowly. You have a strong sense of duty and consider it a matter of personal integrity to pay all of your debts and complete anything that you commit to. You are cautious, dependable and just, as a worker or boss. You know how to conserve and regulate your energy for the long haul. Your outlook can be too serious, even morbid. Spend time learning to be more sociable and work at becoming more effective in your self-expression. To do this will not just make your life more well-rounded and enjoyable, but also more productive in very tangible ways. Find out more with your full-length reading...
MERCURY IN CAPRICORN
Your mind is practical, clear and literal. You see the world pretty much as it actually is. You are naturally resourceful because you are conservative as to what you feel is possible in any circumstance. You have a sense of diplomacy and impeccable timing in your conversation and communication. This is not out of courtesy so much as out of your perception of how things are. You make changes along well thought out and accepted lines. You see the correct time and then jump at the right moment. Your life improves when you cultivate optimism and a deeper ability to adapt to change. Find out more with your full-length reading...

| Well, my nephew and I went to an aura reading seminar lecture thing yesterday and it was interesting. I suppose I have too open a mind (hopefully not suggestible). The lecture had to do with how we are all energy first and that reality lies within us not in the physical world. The lecturers where 81 year old Dottie and her husband Joe. Dottie has the gift of seeing auras and both my nephew and I had a reading done - 1/2 hour each and we went together. What she said was dead on and cool. How much of this is pure observation or reality is hard to say as I have no such sight. My father would never go in for such things.
Dottie has great hope for the future and sees things changing greatly in the next 5 years. She is a lovely person and it was cool to talk to her. My nephew got quite excited when she knew about the 6th age of the Mayans and the 100th monkey - he had never run into another human being who had heard of such things. She saw an entity watching over my nephew and a man with a gotee watching over me. I think I know who that entity might be. I believe that we are made up of energy and when we die that energy must go somewhere. There is the question - where.
In other news I have bowed down in a way and did a personality profile thing on eHarmony - a dating website. If I am going to find a mate I need to become serious about finding a mate. I just have this fear about ending up alone. It might well happen you know as I age and my father dies and my nephew grows. I have friends and am not alone - but -
Suzuki graduation today and my one student made it in the nick of time. I am proud that she made it as she was quite upset at her last lesson and I have decided to take her off Suzuki literature for the summer and work on fiddle tunes for the period fair in September. I really want her to have fun.
I came across a violinist/fiddler online who did an awesome cadenza for a Mozart violin concerto - it goes through the world's folk music and is quite well done. It's a bit long being longer than the concerto itself, but he's such a compelling player that he manages to pull it off. He's not typical classical wet foot guy. (I find him a joy to watch) and I want my students to have the same joy about playing. Click on the web address and you should find the video. I found it under "Mozart Cadenza" when searching. His name by the way is Gilles Apap. He is a bit "in your face" with the world music. he's almost too talented. Still - - - -

| | I am sitting in a hotel room in Pittsburgh. I am here for a concert memorial for one of the teachers who recently died - Mimi Lerner I think is the name. My father has wanted to get away fro a time so I brought him too - he's walking about after a long drive. My 15 year old nephew choose to stay at home with an adult friend (close friend of the family) - and our dogs. Life is pretty good. I am happy with the string quartet and gathering people to read it (soon I hope) and am working on an larger piece for a competition - I need to finish that by June 15th - post marked June 15 so I should finish it (complete with editing) by the 10th. That gives me about a month - ugh - 8-10 minutes - that's a lot of music and it has been going slow. It took me 2 months to write the string quartet and it went through several mutations. Still i am happier than I have been in months maybe years. I am going to produce two CD's and start getting my music out there. The tea shop has given me permission to use their name for their CD - and to also sell the more serious chamber music CD. I am moving - maybe not forward but movement is good in any case. My family is stable for the moment and best - my nephew growing in mind, body and soul. Life may yet become good again. | | compositions: 2 composed Compose a comment |
