It’s summer. Well at least for Columbia Students (and probably other colleges too). Unfortunately that means two jobs and no music classes, but that also means writing music, writing music, and writing music. It has been a while since I could just sit down and write some music. I am also looking forward to having jam sessions with my roommates. The other night my friend Ricky (www.rickypowellmusic.com) and I were jamming. I was playing my keyboard (split between upright bass and piano) and he was playing guitar. It was awesome. We played many different styles from minor blues to the chord progression from Something by the Beatles. I highly recommend it to any musicians, it’s something that is very relaxing. Maybe I’ll post a recording of the session soon.
