one two three
plucked colorful fall leaves
music calms

fall leaf two
suggests a pumpkin...
ripened

afternoon walk

In fall winds,
grass blades dance hand in hand.
Cut to chase

morning rush

brown suit in autumn

sip black coffee to crack morn

day is white canvas

Fall air chill, warm bread
at the front porch bakery
reap oven blessings

Victor Ewald

"Eleven. Exactly. One louder." - Nigel Tufnel in This Is Spinal Tap


The little I know about Victor Ewald inspires me. Here are eleven things

1. Working musician 
2. Russian -- authentically expressing his roots
3. Integration of folk melodies into his composition
4. Lyrical melodies in his compositions
5. Promoted the work of others -- through the ‘Friday Evenings’ - weekly soirées
6. The longing and passion heard in the opening phrase of Quintet #3 - Movement II (sample from youTube)
7. The melancholy in the melody, followed by the exhilaration of the 5/4 section  of the Quintet #1 - Movement II (sample from youTube). You can just feel the Russian winter followed by Spring.
8. The opening line of the Tuba in Quintet #1 - Movement 1. (sample from youTube).
9. The final 40 seconds or so of Quintet #1 - Movement 1. So romantic and passionate (sample from youTube). 
10. Beautifully crafted trumpet filigree through all his compositions. Quintet #2 shows it off (sample from youTube).
11. Lush french horn and tenor horn lines, perhaps a connection to his cello roots.

Any season

Sow strokes
Growing life and limb
Reap miles

Exhaling summer
Pause to reap labors rewards
Now must store white shoes

fall, milk churns crowd forms

fair queen's beauty carved in butter

state fair tradition

Arriving at the party

I think this internet thing is going to be around a little longer. I think this Google thing may be here too. Inspired by a friend, I've decided to share my thoughts on life, music, testing, bicycling, and anything else of interest.
