First violin chart is finished!

I was able to finally finish the first violin chart, actually for the title cut from "Another Second Childhood". This is purely an experiment, as I have not tried mixing violin and saxophone since "The Julie Andrews Series" of compositions I wrote for KPFA radio almost 25 years ago. (I have looked everywhere for these and I cannot find the recordings we made)

Here we see a not-so-excited Diane looking over the chart that I will eventually force her to play:


There is also finally some momentum behind the artwork for the new CD. I ran an ad for an artist on Craig's List several months ago, and received 30 replies. I was able to narrow this down to four contenders, as most of the stuff just doesn't seem like a good fit.

It amazes me that so many people have web pages touting themselves as "working artists", complete with email addresses, and then when you contact them and try to actually buy some of their artwork, they never actually get back to you. Doesn't anyone want to make any money? I feel like I should be up on the roof shouting: "YOO-HOO! I HAVE CASH, PEOPLE!"

Better get it now, peoples...
