100% Dog Vomit-Free Post
OK, OK, so I poke a little good natured fun at Deborah+ and her very good post from a couple of days ago with the title of my Daily Cup today (but honestly, I swear to you that dog vomit … Continue reading
Dancing in 7/8
In various ways, at various times, I have been taught that all music should dance. Now sometimes that dance will look like Isadora Duncan, and sometimes like Michael Jackson, but there should always be a sense of movement in the … Continue reading
