Interesting day. The interview went well with St. Louis. Hopefully someone from the symphony heard it. The DJ went on and on about the piece so that was nice.
I don't know if Glenn inspired me, or if hearing and playing through my serious music did the trick, or maybe it was just time, but I started writing, I started setting one of my favorite poems and got a lot done. Here's the poem. Pretty obvious why I like it so much:
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.
And then an idea I had for a opera sort of focused in. I actually feel I'd have the strength to write it. I called Maria and she was interested. So who knows. It would be a public domain rights property although there is some research I can do through books. So I ordered something on Amazon to have a look.
