This is a Blues Gypsy I interviewed in my radio show. His name is RJ Hollywood.
there is never enough time. Right now I’m kind of spinning out of control. Eryn is wondering what she wants to do with her life and I have no idea what I want to do. I say music. I mean I want to get payed to write and teach and record music. and post it and perform it. I dont know if that’s realistic, I mean, my posts so far have been pretty mediocre. I enjoy practicing, but its not a necessity to me. I want to do too much. I think as long as I get good grades next semester nothing else matters, but I really do want to know when I graduate I will have enough money to get an apartment or something. This website is really a private journal, and I guess in the next couple weeks I’m going to map out the rest of my four years and see what’s coming after them. Would my parents support me if I went to graduate school? Would a liberal arts college hire me? Would I be able to support myself teaching and performing? Would I afford a piano and Bass and Drums in my music room of my house where I settle down and raise children and a legacy?????? sometimes i think I should really just say yes, I’m going to live a normal life based off of somebody else and ask somebody else how I should live my life. By this summer I want to find out how to find the information that will give my life and musical aspirations structure.
the more important freshman friends.
Such great heights, I sang this ad hoc and I think I had a cold, its a little nasal. whatever.
Nocturne, I improvised this one night, its on my keyboard, thats what that statick is.
8:08 pm. I’m very much much much much. I think I want to be a theory/composition major. More than that I want to be a composer/performer. I am very frustrated because I have so many ideas for a cover I’m doing of Don’t Blame me that I cant make it into a cohesive 4 minute song. My professor just told me to work on getting away from the melody, so, yeah. I’m also getting christmas songs stuck in my head and trying to play them. I am playing a recital on thursday, so I’ll post it whenever I get it. I really dig bach, I mean a lot. the only song I’m playing is the fugue in Eb from book 1 of the well-tempered clavier, so it will only be 1 minute long.
A piece I wrote for two guitars, I wish I would have transcribed the last part. I kind of dubbed the Song Form, so thats why theres a really weird click at the end of the choruses.
Just me playin some blues in George Mason U’s Piano rooms.
