Raspberry Pi update
Honestly this computer is not very user friendly IMHO. Nevertheless, I have gotten my Raspberry Pi 1B to run the Jessie operating system with Wifi and Bluetooth now working. This now will talk to my Wii Remotes and I ran a Python script which typed out text versions of the buttons I pushed. Yay! I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do with Python scripting, the Wii’s and some outboard electronics.
Music Player/Store for Trio album
I finally have a music player online from CD Baby. It is on my new musician FB page and also features Art Ensemble of Chicago member Joseph Jarman and bassist Tatsu Aoki.
Just maybe in time for the holidays???
sitting in with the Symphony tonight
Yes it’s been a wild week. Free jazz Thursday at a coffee shop with 4 horns and a robotic drum and tonight I’m in formal black again for a festive holiday celebration with Miranda Lambert and the Nashville Symphony. It’s my first time playing with the NSO and I am enjoying it!

Premiere of brand new composition for my trio with Jamison Sevits on trumpet and Jesse Strauss on percussion. Also bringing an expansion of my robotic drummer piece to include trumpet.

Acoustic Show!
Playing free improv set Dec 10 for FMRL – opening for Jamison Williams
Thoughts on this include my oboe, my Suona and/or Vietnamese oboe, Â possibly my Shenai if I can make another reed…. Soprano Sax, Â Arduino Drummer and Alto. Not sure I should really carry more than this. Thoughts?
