Up at 5, watched Colbert and the like.
Went back to bed for a while and listened to a dharma talk/guided meditation.
Listened to the first 3 songs from Rene Lebeau’s Flowers of America solo project — semi-improvised keyboard songs, w/ some drumming and production by Ray Ketchem. (They told me “no guitars” was one of their constraints.) Made me want to make music, which not much music does.
7:30. Breakfast, coffee. Read 50 p. of Willie the Lion.
About 9:15. Form notes, 10 R&B songs. Exercised (rung 5 started yesterday). Texted Kyle in Upland.
Took out trash. Walk.
Put on a playlist of improvised music from a BBC show, w/ a piece by Alexander Hawkins & Tomeka Reid: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000hgs8
Instead of writing, worked on various office/clean-up tasks, e.g.:
Filled out census.
D/l’ed mobile banking app, to deposit tax refund. [As of this afternoon, I can’t get it to accept the photos.]
Watched a longish live clip of Robert Wyatt with Matching Mole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYg5OYpKYQ4
Spent at least 90 minutes doing something about every email I could. A lot of that was spent writing to Matthew Shelton, who posted a cover of a Nothing Painted Blue song recently. I guess I got the inbox down by 50, but there’s still a lot.
Lunch around 2. Tried to close some tabs. Called dad before 4.
Spent time with Bree.
Walk.
Worked on “Hold the Flashlight” for 45 min. or so. Maybe getting somewhere? Wrote to David H. w/ a question about the form.
Dinner.
Helped w/ a grocery order.
Read another section of Theory, A Sunday.
Watched some Smiths guitar-lesson videos. I should play around w/ open E tuning.
Lights out 11. Put on the rest of the Flowers of America record.
