"Snowpacolypse" has hit the Midwest and two snowed-in musicians find themselves nestled in their Vernon Avenue loft with two fluffy kitties, one apple-crumble, and three forms of entertainment (internet, t.v., & Harry Potter Book IV). Oh, and lots of daydreaming...
Last summer in Europe I tried my hand, for the first time, at taking my flute to the streets. Although this was born out of financial necessity, I discovered that I actually really enjoyed and fit into the street musician lifestyle; and, I now look back on it as the most creative, exciting, and eclectic periods of my life. So I couldn't help but wonder, is this my niche? The more I've thought about it since my return to the states, I've begun developing an idea. A modern, 21st century version of the medieval "jongleur."
This idea would combine all of my loves ~ music/performance, travel/cultures, people, writing, and service. It's a project "in the works," but the more I think about it the more it becomes my dream. More details to come...
