Hey, this was fun! An excellent way to get back into lecture mode for the fall semester.

Creative Louisiana invited me to do a talk about living the creative life, so I opened it with playing one of my own songs solo, something I've never done. More importantly, I cannot say I've never done it before now because I have. Some 67 people were there according to the groovy iPad register at Magpie Cafe, so they can all bear witness.

The song felt awkward, like somehow I didn't know how to find the notes with my voice, but I'm OK with that. Improvements can only come on the next time. See? I'm talking in platitudes already. The fall semester is going to be a snap!

Edited to add: Nanci Charpentier, Artist, did a very kind write-up at her blog, where she said, "And then he started talking and moving and waving his hands..." which is a pretty accurate account of my lecture style. The Advocate also had me do their weekly pop quiz to promote it.
