Yo Haven't written in this thing for a while. Everything is going well. I am staying busy. I am trying to practice as much as possible, but with work and school, it gets tough. I am going to try and take a Navy Band audition soon though. I have to play Coltrane 26-2 and Stella in all 12 keys. I also have to play some legit stuff but I am not too worried about that. I have been trying to get into the word of God more, but I haven't been doing a great job, so pray that I will get on track I have been really thinking about not coming back to school next year. I am realizing that I don't need a master's degree to play well, I need to practice! The degree means nothing if you can't play your horn well! If I can find some work that pays well and isn't time consuming so that I can practice I may take it. Also I don't want to be in debt like crazy when I finish my degree. I am not going to spend years upon years paying off student loans. So let me know what you think, should I finish the degree regardless, finish only if I get some money, or try and get a playing gig that will allow me to practice as much as possible? Oh, my folks are doing well. My dad got a sweet new job, and quit smoking! My brother got a new truck, and my folks sold our house! Peace
