61:  2nd Day of Regina Carter clinic.  Performed in a faculty recital with the OJQ and Regina.  I thought I played pretty well for this one.  Don’t say that much, but I was happy with the outcome.

62:  Practice for show and hanging with Jenine before I left for the week for WSS.

63:  Marathon day for WSS.  Rehearsal, then sound check, then first show.  Went well, not perfect, but ok.  Looking forward to the rest of the week.

Day 58:  A little practicing for West Side Story.  Looking forward to this show next week.

Day 59:  Wedding gig with Scott Gwinnell at the Shenandoah Country Club.  The family must have spent $100k on this wedding.  Unbelievable.  Maybe 400 people there.  Scott, Brad McNett, and I played one hour of Sinatra-ish music.   Believe it or not, some people actually clapped!

Day 60:  First day of the Regina Carter clinic.  I taught a few hours of combos class, and then played the metal guiro for the steel drum group.  Mark Stone, our great world music professor, refers to this role as the “engine room.”  Vroom vroom.

Class.  Still working on the same rep, but played “Mambo Inn” with the guitar group.  Mission: get four guitarists to feel clave.  Possible?  Remains to be seen.
