Schroeder is my hero
The composer’s later piano music.
Well, cancelled escrows and imposing infernos not withstanding, I’m in a very celebratory mood on this birthday. Yet another completed rotation around the sun, and still minimal signs of wear and tear on the vehicle. Hip, hip, hooray is always better than hip, hip… replacement!
The photo above, from a slightly earlier birthday, shows me hard at work on one of my earlier compositions. You can see it there, strewn recklessly on the floor in a mad fit of “these enharmonics are wrong and the tempo should be faster!”.
I suppose I’ve always been obsessed.
I love this image because it’s so…. me. When I glance at it I’m reminded of what my passion is, and who I am at my core. No, not a great pianist. But….

Thanks! It was indeed a happy birthday!
Went out clubbing in Hollywood last night with a couple of friends and had a blast. Started out with two great hip hop/meets-other-stuff bands at Safari Sams, including live skateboarding before the show. How cool. Then on to the Spider Club at Avalon for more dancing, this time to a DJ. Since I’m soon to be a country bumpkin, I felt like doing something ΓΒΌber urban.
My friend Steve surprised me when he brought a cake topped with my birthday salutations written in icing across a chocolate paddleboard.
Creativity knows no bounds… π

Happy Birthday Alex! We here in Malibu, while truly sorry your plans are on hold, count ourselves lucky to have you among us still.

“What a little sweetie!”
(NOTE: Certainly not in your case, but should such an observation be made by someone viewing MY pre-school pictures, it is invariably followed by “…what HAPPENED?”)

Believe me, PLENTY of people have asked “what happened,” and oh, so much more!
(especially regarding my piano technique. I think I hit my peak by age 5 and it was downhill from there…).
