in preparation for my podcast interview with this amazing composer (seek out his piano compositions - mind blowing), i came upon his analysis of Kraftwerk, and then plays one of their classics on an 4 hundred year old instrument. in under 3 minutes he explains and shows you the brilliance of kraftwerk, and also his own natural genius instincts.
Merry Christmas to my awesome gutter-buds! I want to thank the people who sent me kindest regards and thoughts and prayers, had a really nice Christmas (and was able to use certain techniques to calm down when I was having panic attacks.) On December 6 I took a tour of the local memory care facility, then introduced the concept to my mother; it has been a whirlwind of activity, and finally on December 20 the family and I were able to move our beloved grandmother and mother into assisted living. Both my sister and I feel so very much better. A great weight has been lifted off our shoulders, knowing that our mother is safe and well cared for. It's been a beautiful holiday. Mother is a Christmas birthday so we open gifts in the morning and then celebrated with cake in the afternoon.
