all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

don't think twice, it's all right

Yesterday I felt like a big pile of feces... I got up at like 6 to work on homework and then went to observe orchestra at the high school and then I had class... choir in chapel ...lesson...rehearsal...class... etc. on four hours of sleep... and my stomach hurt like a b-yotch and I was still angsty from the night before when I wrote my last hella angsty blog. Anyway so it's 12:15ish and I'm walking to my voice lesson, walking past Heemstra when I hear Heemstra radio blaring out one of my all-time favorite Bob Dylan songs. I stopped in my tracks, laid down supine on the grass in front of Heemstra and gazed at the clouds for five minutes until the song was over. And I have been in a wonderful mood ever since.

What have we learned from this? When life hands you a crap sandwich, Bob will be there to tell you "it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe, ... don't think twice, it's all right." What a wondeful, wonderful man.

And now, back to grad school essays.

Good luck on your essays. The music life can be a real bitch sometimes. The key is knowing your place. I guess that could be true about anything, but it's damn true about music. (I'm a composer... found your blog by clicking "Berg")

The cool thing is, if you actually were late for your voice lesson, Ms. Lodine would be cool with it once you told her it was for Bob Dylan.
