In progress...

Due to the holiday on Monday, I feel like I've been playing catch-up all week.  I haven't done a lot with the site, although I added a calendar to the front page.  I'm not certain if that's where it will stay, but I think it's a necessary part.  If you have an opinion on where the calendar should be, feel free to share it with me.

I'm almost ready to post some new compositions.  In fact, there are some flute/guitar pieces that will be up very soon.  I'll have at least one of them up by Friday.  My good friend, Chuck, is a flutist that has been bugging me to write some new music for some time.  It's also much more satisfying to compose when I know that I can get a performance.

One thing that I'm still working on is how to present the music on the website.  I'd really like to use Sibelius Scorch, if possible.  However, I'm still working out how to incorporate that HTML into the site.  Otherwise, I can continue to use the document viewer.  Scorch is superior, however, because it allows MIDI playback as well as some other functionality.

I haven't done much with recording this week, although I did do a few takes of a Bach Prelude on guitar yesterday.  I am so very fond of Bach that I want to get as close as I can to a certain sound.  That means when I am working on it, I spend a lot of time hunched up and holding the guitar's sound-hole up to a microphone while wearing a pair of headphones.  Maybe that's why my neck has been sore...

Re: The calendar.

I would suggest putting the full calendar as a main tab, with an "Upcoming Events" widget on the front page--just show today and the next day or two in that widget.

As-is, the calendar breaks up your introduction text.

Hmmm...Moses' suggestion is good. If you'd rather have it on the front page, though, maybe you could put it into a side column (like your September 2010 text box), and maybe change the default view to Agenda - that way, only upcoming events are displayed.

Looking forward to seeing the new compositions!

Your recording posture explains a lot...
