Tomorrow, my band is competing at the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Special's band competition. I'm trying really hard not to be nervous, but the thing is, the more I think about not being nervous, the more nervous I become. It's like when someone tells you don't laugh and all of a sudden everything is unbearably... Continue Reading →
Below are the entries copied from my journal chronicling my week at Maine Fiddle Camp. 8.17.14 Today was the first partial day of Maine Fiddle Camp. The morning was spent in preparation, mostly cleaning the house so that the dog sitter doesn't think we're total slobs. We left our house at around 5:30 pm, entered... Continue Reading →
So, I've spent today getting ready to go to the Maine Fiddle Camp. I'm super excited - or I would be if I weren't so exhausted. Fiddle Camp - despite the name - is not just about learning the fiddle, but about learning to play fiddle tunes no matter what instrument you play. I think... Continue Reading →
Music can be such a force for good in this world. On Friday, the band played at a concert to help raise money to support a local family whose son needs a heart transplant. It was so wonderful to see so many people - mostly high school aged kids - come out to play music... Continue Reading →
I'm finally feeling better, thank goodness. I was getting tired of lying around doing nothing all day. I just hope I don't overdo it and send myself back to my sick bed.

So, I've been sick for about a week now. Every morning I wake up and try to convince myself that I'm not sick. I'm generally back in bed by noon. I hate being sick. I hate how absolutely useless I become. And when I say useless, I mean useless. If I don't spend the day... Continue Reading →
There are times when sentences just sort of pop into my head and I run with them and suddenly a whole little scene is going through my mind and occasionally I like these scenes so much that I'll write them down and they end up somewhere in my book. This is not one of those... Continue Reading →
So....I know I said I was going to do a daily blog post. I also know I said I was going to start the Jacky Faber reread this week. No doubt you've all noticed that I haven't done either of those things. There's really a very simple explanation for this: I've been having one of... Continue Reading →
I've just learned that the wonderful L.A. Meyer, author of the Jacky Faber books, has passed away due to complications from refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma. For those who haven't read his books, go out and buy them now. They are the most wonderful adventure stories, starring the charming Jacky Faber - a strong, independent, and troublesome young...

I've really been enjoying posting everyday this past week and I'd like to continue the trend. Now, I may not always have as interesting a subject as documenting a bow making class, but I shall try and post something thought provoking, or entertaining, or at least something not too trivial or banal everyday. Today's post... Continue Reading →
