A couple of mental notes toward the end of the first season of Sonorous Ensemble:
DO work with your friends.
DO work with your friends who love playing new music.
DO NOT underestimate how busy friends are because they are excellent players with a lot of gigs.
Always bring cookies for after the rehearsal.
The conductor should always have a beer before the rehearsal.

Tiger Woods Wins 1st Tourney Since September 2009
Tiger Hugs caddie, Joe LaCava, after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday.
It had been 924 days since Tiger Woods hoisted a trophy in an official PGA Tour event, beating Graeme MacDowell in the process. It was great watching Tiger again in the final group, and for me personally it was especially interesting because Tiger's last victory was before I really became addicted to golf.
The Master's is in 2 weeks and oddsmakers are already making Tiger the favorite to win (a bit of an overreaction in my opinion). Still, it's great to see him back and with a little swag left in his surgically repaired knees. He's not the same Tiger of before -- and I don't know if he'll ever be -- but, boy, it'll be fun watching him try.

Baseball Season starts...
In 4 days! Well, not really...still a month away, but as the great Buster Olney said over the weekend, this past Saturday was the last Saturday until November that there won't be any baseball.
And with that, one of my favorite videos of Brian Wilson:
FEAR THE BEARD, Let's Go Giants!

Violin Concerto Premiere
After all the hard work, with venerable composers Lane Harder, Joey Love, and Andy Davis, the premiere of our wind ensemble works was a complete success.
Who knew putting together an ensemble of 40 players and having them be able to make all the rehearsals would go so smoothly?!?!
Recordings for the Concerto for Violin and Wind Ensemble will be up soon...the performance was absolutely amazing, probably the best performance of my music, EVER. :)
