Hey gang!
I did not succumb to the plague, though I don't mind telling you that I lost a full week to feeling crummier than I ever have before. The fog finally lifted last night and I've managed to make it through a full day at the Museum today, so things are looking up for me! Get your flu shots, kids. This year's strain is NO joke. Oof. Thanks for your get-well notes and warm wishes. They helped a lot!
I don't have much to post in the way of recaps, since I had to call upon Jimmy T. to arrange subs for most of my classes. I hope you had fun while I was away, and maybe learned something new from someone new. You'll have to teach ME when we next meet!
Sunday's Guitar 3rep was the only class I managed to drag in for--though I'm sure you all wish I'd gotten a sub instead (and I ended up spending the next two days in bed, so THAT was a mistake!).
We polished up Ziggy and then I prattled on about random music theory tidbits like ear training and intervals, and finding octaves on the guitar, and key signatures. What a mishmash! Back to our regularly-scheduled good-time strum-alongs next time.
If you've been to see the Bowie exhibit, I'm jealous. I'm going a week from today and I cannot wait.
Anyone else get tickets for Patti Smith at the School? I'm super-excited for that as well.
(I'm just making conversation here because this seems like such a short update!)
I just read Kim Fowley's autobiography "Lord of Garbage" and it's nuts. Just like him. Here's a great review. (You may not know his name, but you know his work.)

Next up on the reading list is "The History of Rock 'n' Roll ins Ten Songs" by Greil Marcus. I'll let you know how it is.
OK </blather> see you soon, friends!
