Which is to say, I left the lappy home to go to work today, because I also need to practice and then go to my gig. Five gigs and a rehearsal in six days, woo! The important news is of course all the franchising and not-franchising. Like if you’re a RB,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Meanwhile at the Office…

Tonight's post is live from the office, because I have to be there for rehearsal during post time, and am spending my time otherwise doing jazz band arrangements for… definitely not enough per page. Like most teaching things, I should be making like double for this. Life of a musician… Okay,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: They Can’t All Be Winners
