1/12

I’ll be brief today.
Up before 11 - stayed up so late.
Had my first harmony lesson, out of Schoeberg’s textbook, with Judith Berkson and 2 other students (one of whom was in the Absolutely Kosher band The Dead Science, of all things). Fun - learned about the basics of open and closed SATB voicings, and the rules for going from one chord to another (diatonic changes only). Will do some exercises over the next 2 weeks.
Made some buckwheat, and some onions and garlic for Brussels sprouts. Cleaned the stove.
Piano - scales, arpeggios, some improvisation, worked on “Dancers in Love.”
Spent and hr. putting together playlist for next week’s radio show - did a little of this yesterday too. Almost have 2 hrs of gospel assembled.
Short walk at 10. Intended to get it together to walk to the bank to deposit checks, but didn’t. Tomorrow, if possible.
Poetry notebook. 12 p. Quick Question.
