My Week of Music, Pre Plugs, and What Else I’m Working On

My excuse for not posting is the eventful week that I’ve been having despite however it might look on paper. Hopefully tomorrow with my off day I will be inspired to post something with substance, but here is my boring, never-get-any-subscribers-with-this update.

I wish I could say the job search is moving forward, but despite the unknown right now, it is kind of staying in one place. With that being said, music projects are picking up and I feel like that keeps me happy and distracted from things that just aren’t happening at the moment. I am playing a short private event tonight with members of the Matt McCallie orchestra this evening, and then on Friday I am finally making my debut with Boogiefoot at Danno’s. Boogiefoot has been playing around the Saint Louis area for over six years now, and play a variety of fun music including songs from Steely Dan, The Crusaders, Trombone Shorty, and many others. Here is the Facebook event page, and you can also check out our personal Facebook page from there.

Looking ahead, this weekend I will be doing some more recording and begin to look ahead to other possible projects that I won’t talk about more until I know more.

Me and my best friend Nolan have decided to start our own joint account on Vine called Broken Humor and come out with funny short videos to promote laughter and happiness. We have only started brainstorming ideas about what we will work ahead towards, but have many great ideas so far. This project will be more for fun, but I hope we will eventually gain followers and have progress with the characters and segments we create. I will be creating a WordPress page in the future for BH and hopefully a domain to go with it, but for now here is our Facebook page that we will be promoting once we release videos sometime the beginning of next week.

Music Update, Lazy Sunday, Looking Ahead to the Week

First off, one day this week I think it is time for a bit of a blog makeover and restructure, I find that parts of this blog have changed and fallen off over time.

I would consider the gig that I had on Friday to be more of a success musically, but not much of a crowd. Still, the setting was unique and unlike many others, and now I know when Pagan Pride day is in St. Louis. I will be heading off to a few rehearsals tonight after I finish this, and one is for future recordings we will doing in the Matt McCallie Orchestra, so I will be sure to put up links for those in the future when they are put online.

Today I slept in for a bit, had a good lunch, and headed to the pool with my parents although I did more reading today then anything because of how busy it was. There’s no doubt that Summer is here in St. Louis and I’m sure we have a hot July and August to look forward to.

I would like to say that next week is looking less busy, but it really isn’t. I also hope to be more busy with certain job-related things this week considering it’s getting close to cutoff time and I have begun to apply for a few backups.

Instagram has video now, and it works on android…..AND you can use filters in the videos. I love Vine but until it works on all platforms, it’s going to be tough.

I hate to conform to Instagram too but I know that we all conform in one way or another. After all, I conformed to social media years and years ago and know I go on rants on social media about how I can’t keep up…on social media. But anyways, I’m a sucker for filters, and can never decide on what to use, so I always end up going with the coolest looking one. Here’s what I am doing now before I leave, with a nice filter.
