Need More Light, Santa Clara, California, September ‘07, artistic view.
Not long time ago I bought my first music mp3 files from Amazon.com, and downloaded them. Those were Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around…/…Comes Around and My Love. The Amazon.com transaction was smooth, no issues, song descriptions are clear, reviews usually useful, and the search is also working fine. And most important, no DRM. In the past I bought something from Apple but the DRM pretty much prevented it from listening to it in any reasonable way. Things have changed since then, I know, but I did not go back yet.
Spent some time going over Sarah McLachlan’s I Will Remember You sheet music, pp. 149-53, while drinking coffee and eating fried chicken strips and rice pilaf dinner at a restaurant one late evening. Have to conclude that the piano part is relatively simple. If I could only sing like her! Regular, not decaf, in case you wonder.
Replied to email from Jewel, not private though. I am officially entered into a T-shirt drawing contest now promoting her new single. Hope I get the right size!
The next video for YouTube has no title yet, and only some vague ideas about the subject. The music is being written, three pieces finished, one more today, then intro and coda in the next two days or so. Now I am breaking my own rule about not talking about something not yet released!
For breakfast: cooked edamame, Japanese wakame seaweed salad with sesame seeds, roasted eel, multi-grain bread, hot jasmine tea. Yummy!
And a quick look at Barron’s financial pages and Yahoo finance. Gold went down so much in the last few days.

I had to repost this blog. After making small additions to the original post, suddenly formatting stopped working, and everything was just one long line!
