Goals, ToDos & TryOuts – part 1

laura bruno lilly — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:55:40 +0000

From January’s first attempts at tackling the freshness of the New Year, “While many have detailed their goals in a manner worthy of the New Year, I have been floundering in my own Sea of Lists.” Me to finding a starting point in the beginning stages within a poem, “Let us step outside for a […]

(He)art at its best

laura bruno lilly — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 11:05:08 +0000

Just finished a fantastic time on the practice stool with the Prisloe. Again. (He)art at its best. I’ve had a long string of days blissfully playing and practicing, composing and creating, with a focus on deep working through pieces yet to be recorded. And all profoundly satisfying with more in store tomorrow and the next […]

Me as Composer

About 6 weeks ago, while planning our extended stay in Colorado to continue the hands-on process of getting Dad’s estate settled, I contacted a longtime colleague about collaborating with me on the recording of my Goat Suite (Saga). Her willingness to work with me under challenging circumstances – finding snippets of time to rehearse, then […]

Me & the Board & Moving Forward

laura bruno lilly — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 00:45:23 +0000

I fully intended on posting a ‘thoughtful article on my first SwS presentation’ as mentioned here. Obviously, I haven’t been able to quite pull one together. Yes, the June 3rd featured event at the Goodwill Cultural Center was a huge success and the thrill of introducing the public to my Goat Suite (Saga), the related […]

39 Years is A Loooong Time: lots of years to grow stronger and in love together

As I sit here sipping the last of my Pinot Noir from dinner, the eve of our Wedding Anniversary, I’m reflecting on 39 years of marriage to the same hunk of a man, my TWL. As mentioned before in a previous post, he’s my James Taylor of a guy back in the day when we […]

My SwS Project: from there to here

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 22 May 2017 23:11:24 +0000

My blogger-buddy Anna visited Las Cruces, New Mexico for the first time a few weeks ago and posted a few photos and thoughts on the desert. What a treat to see the familiar through her newbie eyes. How serendipitous! I’ve been immersed in that period of time during our between homes journey lovingly referred to […]

Peace Post: Max Richter, Herbie Hancock and Today’s World

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 09:43:45 +0000

Like many others, I feel at a loss to shape words into coherent phrases expressing outrage, sorrow, compassion and balanced thinking in the midst of our current flood of events in today’s world. In light of this, as always, my medium of choice is music…and music as protest/social statement has a long history. Yes indeed […]
