“Party All Through The Night”
“Party All Through The Night”
This is the seventh offering for “The Music Video Splurge”. 😎
I’m learning a lot with this splurge series.
I enjoy the process.
I feel like I’m just scratching the surface.
I want to create 30 of these videos before I make any assessments.
Onto the next one!
Real Musician Life
Here is a video of us rehearsing for an upcoming concert.
Notice the luxurious studio.🙃
This room in the house is used as a rehearsal studio, a recording studio, a practice studio, etc.
This room is also used by my partner, Shiborigirl, as she creates her custom handmade artwork to sell to her many customers worldwide.
One thing I have learned as a full-time musician of over 32 years, is to make the most with what you got.
Rarely do I ever have enough space, time, money, resources, etc.
Nevertheless, I create a solution.
This is the challenge.
I embrace this challenge.
Playing my instrument, singing, and performing all over the place, is really not my art form.
Living as a full-time musician is my art.
Balancing my life as a full-time musician is my art.
My life is the artform.
I know this may seem strange to some people, but I believe those of us who sustain ourselves with our creations will understand.
That’s my life!
All part of the fun and flow.😎
Playin’ Drum On A Sunday Morning
Played drums for Sunday Services on Easter.
There was a lot of talent in the room.
It’s easy to perform with talented singers and musicians.
As we slowly get back out there again, I hope everyone makes an effort to enjoy live music.
Find what you like and embrace it.
Check out new performers as well.
Live music can be a wonderful gift if we allow it to be so.
I’m grateful to have the opportunities to participate, serve, and support.
I trust I will share more quick live video snippets in the coming months.
😎
Deck The Halls!
Season’s Greetings to everyone who follows this strange little blog.
Much appreciated.
Lots of new stuff coming soon.
Mahalo!

Clouds After The Rain 12/17/14
Sometimes some of the most beautiful view are just above us.
We havent had much rain, so these clouds look different than normal.
I like it.
Your thoughts on clouds?

A Friend 12/15/14
There’s always a lot of friends that come by to visit me on my sailboat.
This is one of the reason I enjoy living in the marina now.
It’s good to have a friend.
Turtles And Me 12/14/14
Today I visited the San Diego Zoo.
I have a friend who works with the reptiles, so I was able to visit the turtles up close and personal.
New memories.
It’s good.
The turtles remind me that I’m just passing through.
We all are.
Why not be kind to each other?
Simply love one another.
Create good memories, then move on.
Such is the awareness of the turtles…
Golden State Tap Room 12/12/14
Just a random vid from the after recital party.
We ended up in this bar in Union Square.
Fun to celebrate with a group of very studied and talented music students from around the world.
Recital 12/11/14
This video was shot just moments before Trevor walked in and gave his recital for his Master’s Degree in Music at The San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
We were not allowed to shoot any vid during the performance.
Trevor performed so well, it was scary.
Overwhelming at times.
It’s been interesting to witness his development over the past 14 years.
Satisfying.
I was happy to simply attend this concert, given the scare of a possible flight cancellation due to rain.
I made it.
Looks like Trevor is making it too.
Life is good.
Goodnight 12/10/14
This practice of The Daily Vid gets tricky sometimes.
There are some days that are so busy that I don’t think about shooting any vid until the em of the day.
This was one of those days.
Nevertheless, I see the perfection in it.
My thoughts at the end of the day as I project my tomorrow.
Like a journal. A diary.
I get it.
View From The Office 12/9/14
If there is one thing that has helped me to recover my balance over the past few months, it has been surfing.
It helps me to forget. To move on.
It helps me to regain my balance.
Surfing heals me.
My time spent in the ocean and in the sand is precious to me.
I can’t imagine my life with out surfing.
I’m grateful.
Jingle Bells 12/8/14
yea, Jingle Bells.
it’s the holiday season, and we are busy doing our thing.
i have a lot of ideas for a whole new video project next year.
im thinking a video a week.
tunes that live in my head.
therapeutic.
not really sure if anyone would ever read and watch and listen to my videos and songs.
but for me, it helps me in an odd way.
it helps me to simply express in the way i do.
my hope is for this music to somehow help others on occasion.
well, probably not.
for now, its Jingle Bells.
your feedback is appreciated.
