This week I'm starting training for fashion week (there might be something special involved 😇), producing a live event, MD'ing, meeting with a respected music manager, and recording 🎻 where Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Bob Dylan, and the cast of Hamilton have recorded. It's even more lovely that recording will be with a friend I've collaborated with for ~10 years. 🥰

Feeling thankful for the "lucky" breaks 🙏🏼 for work, and to be able-bodied etc. to work all this time 🏃🏻‍♀️ I'm just, like, confused how we all did this prior to the pandemonium?! Reflection time later, I guess, along with all the chores. 🤷🏻‍♀️

sometimes you go to a concert and just attend it, and sometimes the violinist physically hops off the stage into the crowd for a SICK violin solo at the end of the show ♡♡♡♡

I leave my home and play my silly performances with my band and i am King of the Geeks!! they love me! i play their pop culture songs for them and they gift me offerings: money and food and kandi and compliments. i bask in the praise and bounce to the tunes we create.

and then i return to my life and i am nothing. i fall from my position as outcast royalty, as quickly as i rose to it. no longer worthy of praise or goodies, i fall back into my pocket of the world: too accomplished for geekery, not smart enough for nerdism, too silly to be mainstream.

i practice my songs and arrange more fandom tunes and rosin up my bow, hoping once again for the euphoria of exaltation: back on the stage once more, me and my fiddle and my friends, making both planned and unplanned noise. loving every second of it.

Yeah so today I had yet another very long rehearsal which lasted the whole afternoon, and at the very end I was playing through the violin solos I wanted to try out for one more time, get it into my fingers... and two people came up to me and told me I sounded really good. One of them was a girl who had beat me to getting a solo earlier this year.

I hope they both know how much that meant to me. I've been feeling really self-conscious about my violin playing lately, and having them say that to me was more precious than anything. It motivated me. Know that I've been rehearsing all afternoon and was exhausted. I just said "thank you" but really I couldn't thank them enough. The girl who beat me to getting a solo, she's such a shy person and she never talks to me, although I know she's really nice and I've tried to become friends with her, but she's so shy. It really moved me when she complimented my playing. I felt bad, though, I was so into the solo that I was trapped in my own world, so she had to say my name multiple times before I could hear. But still, she touched me. Somehow, it felt like everything would be alright.

Guys, know that sometimes it doesn't take much to put someone on the top of the world. All of you who take some time every day to put yourself out there and say a little something nice to someone, thank you, because your words mean so much more than you think.

Jay Ungar's Ashokan farewell by Foundring ( Kylan K. )

The sun is sinking low in the hills above Ashokan. The pines and the willows know soon we will part. There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken, And a love that will always remain in my heart.

My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter, The magic of moving as one, And a time we'll remember long even after The moonlight and music and dancing are done.

Will we climb the hills once more? Will we walk the woods together? Will I feel you holding me close once again? Will every song we've sung stay with us forever? Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping Over the lake the stars shine. Ah they wonder if you and I will be keeping The moonlight and music, or leave them behind.

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping The magic of moving as one They wonder if you and I will be keeping The moonlight and music or part when they're done
