It’s been a busy couple of weeks. My wife is down in San Diego (inSane Diego? It feels like it sometimes) and has been since mid April. I flew down 2 Thursdays ago to see her and flew back on Sunday. Then I taught guitar and mandolin Monday through Wednesday and flew back down this past Thursday. We were suppose to drive back up yesterday but she had 2 business meetings that got moved from Friday to Monday so I flew back up yesterday and she’ll drive up tomorrow. I got into Sacramento airport and as soon as I stepped outside I knew that Summer had arrived. It was just over a month ago that I was running the wood stove day and night to keep the house warm. Yesterday it was in the 90’s. Yep, summer is here. I should say that in addition to wanting to see my lovely wife I also flew down to San Diego to go to my nephew’s wedding. Chris is the guitarist in the band Hollowshell and he also works for Boss (The guitar pedal branch of Roland). Rachael has been his girlfriend since they were both 15 years old and as of yesterday they’re husband and wife. Here’s a picture of the lovely couple:
The Shop
Today I should be installing the insulation in the new shop and then buying and hanging the drywall. That should get me to the point where I can unpack all the boxes and start building instruments again. I can’t wait!
Lessons
I’ll be at the mandolin symposium the last week of June. So I’ll be setting up alternative lesson dates for all my students.
Also, I’ve been talking to Mike at Music and More about framing in two additional teaching studios. If we do so then I’m claiming one of those as my own. Right now we’re running out of teaching space and I’ve had to teach my Wednesday night lessons on the picnic benches outside of the theater. It’s a nice atmosphere, but I’d love to have my own music room with my books, CD player, amp, and so on. Having just 2 more studios will really help the situation.
