My Secret?

Got a funny tweet this morning:

Ha, funnily enough, I submitted this a long, long time ago, and forgot all about it.

But for all that, the principle seems to hold. In the past couple of weeks, since relocating to our new apartment, I’ve:

That’s not bad for a mere couple of weeks, especially when you add in the fact that I have only missed two days of saxophone practice since we moved! Oh, and I suppose I should include my latest musical recording: a rendering of Kenny Dorham’s jazz standard, “Blue Bossa”:

Blue Bossa by Gord Sellar

(And yes, the image for that track is shot from my visit to Fatehpur Sikri, one of my favorite places from my trip around Northern India during winter 2004.)

I probably wouldn’t have gone ahead with that tune, since it was one of the first I learned when I started studying jazz (more than two decades ago, now), but I’ve continued working on jazz tunes with a cohort of people from my online jazz improv class that just wrapped up. This week’s tune is a lot tougher, though.

I do have other stuff I need to do, and haven’t been doing, but I figure, adding one thing at a time to the regimen seems to be working well, so I’ll stick to that approach.

Oh, also, for all the people who are my “Friends” on Facebook: last night I discovered that for some reason, my Facebook updates were only being shared directly with one person, a specific friend of mine. Anything via Twitter was shared to all my friends, but direct status updates only went to this one guy, and I’m not sure how that happened, but I’ve got back and fixed it. If you feel like you may have missed something interesting–and I’m pretty sure you did–feel free to go trawl my Page.
