No quote today, sorry.
Didn’t sleep that well. Dreamt I was sitting in, on organ, at some kind of weekly hotel gig that Peter Cherches; Cyrille Aimee was also involved - playing piano and smoking, instead of singing. Woke up from that, up for a while, tried to get back to sleep.
Up for real around 9:30. Breakfast/coffee. Accomplished nothing before noon. Called Bree’s mom on Zoom; sang the song, which she seemed genuinely touched by.
Read 30 p. Broven + 10 p. Fanon bio + 2 JA poems, 1-2:30. The Fanon book also makes me want to read Césaire, and Glissant.
Checked over some of the Viable tracks, changed the running order.
Played through “Free to Organize” a couple times to record for Richard Fisher and Gary Burton next week.
Made more coffee. Wrote 4-6, minuscule progress.
Made chicken thighs, kale + white beans. Listened to that Andrew Hill record. Put on the 2-song bonus CD that came w/ the Dry Cleaning record after dinner - unfortunately, it drove Bree from the Kitchen.
(I’ve also been reading a few p. of Fred Wah, Music Is the Heart of Thinking, but it hasn’t taken yet.)
Short walk around 10. Started looking at a strange book (Stephen Brown, Writing Marketing). that applies lit-crit principles to academic writing about marketing - I think I got onto it from one of the writing-advice manuals I was reading last month.
Lights out 11 but got up again midnight to 1 or so.
