Tuesday's Child....
Dear Listeners...
Why did I start this little madman's project?
Well I guess I thought it might help focus all the little tunes that go through my head every day, and make sure they'd get put down somewhere. There are thousand's of ditties strewn over the detritus of my past. Who knows who would miss them, but perhaps I should give them a chance!
I was also inspired both by seeing Julie and Julia, and Julie's successful attempt to cook all the Julia Child recipes in one year. It seemed a monumental task. And then I recalled hearing about a Brazilian musical legend, Hermeto Pascoal (AMAZING music - look him up at you tube). There is a story told that he had done a similar project, writing a new tune every day for a year. I'm sure he wrote them out with chord charts etc., but I'll be hard pressed to keep up my own little attempt, especially while working full time. But so far 3 days in A tune has come through each day. Let's call this one "Tuesday's First Child." Only 362 more to go!

A New Beginning... towards an end.
As I approach the end of a teaching career, and dream of a future music-making career, I am setting myself a daily discipline: creating tunes using the voice I know best, my violin. I will start with a goal to create a new tune each day for a year. The tunes will be short, although I may at times, include a 2nd sound file with a longer improvisation on the tune.
So for now “Let it begin!”
Here is the first tune of a hopeful 365 this year, a hopeful little ditty to go with the day. Let's call it “Day One.” Written Aug. 30, 2009, by Kit Eakle to mark this “Beginning towards an end.” Enjoy!
