So today you are hiding, since the first three days of the week were taken up with teaching and committee work, and because tomorrow will have at least two committee meetings in the middle of the day. You need a full day to get back into full immersion for working on this paper you're writing. You've no plans for exciting and varied writing venues today, as described in a previous post. This is because now you're more into the part of the writing that can benefit from just sitting in one comfortable and familiar place for a long time, staring, scribbling, typing, mumbling, and drinking lots of tea and coffee...
...and listening to music. Today, you woke up in the mood for Cassandra Wilson's music, and so while you write you'll be listening for the entire day to every album she's ever recorded. Blue Skies is one of your favourites, as is Blue Light 'Til Dawn. And the recent Glamoured, has many wonderful reworkings of several modern standards from several genres such as pop, jazz, blues, country...(for example, Sting's "Fragile", while the original is a favourite of yours, never sounded better, or made more sense, before her version, and you've been listening a lot to her wonderful version of Willie Nelson's "Crazy" recently). But you'll not just be listening to her later stuff, you'll be digging way back into work closer to her earlier, more experimental M-base collective work too. Happy Hiding Away, Writing, And Listening To Cassandra Wilson Day* -cvj (*After the excellent blog Girls Are Pretty .)
