Da Count – jazzhop

I’ve blogged a bit about ArtHop over the years. Last night I attended my first JazzHop which was organized over the last few months by a local musician. The concept is simple… various venues in the mid-town and downtown area features musicians playing and you hop from one to another catching the talent on display. Plus it is a monthly occurance at that! I love it. I love music. I love jazz and here is …

Da Count – a new film

This was created last weekend. A big part of this count includes all the talent who came out at literally a moments notice and helped make it happen. Plus, it is always count worthy when I jump into the creative saddle… one of my favorite places in the whole world. This film was created for “the germ” and was screened last night along with 14 others. However, the cut that was screened last night had …

Da Count – the walk

My day usually begins at around 4 AM. I wake put on the coffee then get to work… mostly on the computer. Usually just at sunrise I stop work and head out for my morning walk. The times and direction varies daily… but the walk happens one way or another. Sometimes I fight myself on doing it… which is (I freely admit) stupid because within half a block the feeling of well being begins. The …

Da Count – 2011

Where years go… this wasn’t a bad one. Sure, there were ups and downs but that is part and parcel of life. The fact that one gets through the challenging times make the good ones even sweeter… and count worthy. I’ll admit there were some loose ends that I was hoping to tie up by years end, some of which are still flailing in the breeze… but the others that I did manage to tie …

Da Count – gig relief

So, things have been tight. I know… I know… things have been tight all over. The food business I had (which for the most part was paying the bills) is no more. I tried starting it up again but even the clients I had (before I took a short break) are finding things tight… too tight to order the service. I totally understand that. A couple of months ago I got a couple of video …

Da Count – scratching an itch… or two

We all have those flights of fancies. Different ones at different times in our lives. For the few of you who have followed along over here on this blog know that on occasion I will dive head first into an obsession or two. (That is SO not like you, Lecram!) In the realm of videos… there was the epic movie phase, the disaster movie phase, the documentary phase (just to name a few)… and of …

Da Count – baked goods

It’s the time of the year when temperatures fall that I get a slight craving for breads and such. For the hotter months the thought of goodies from the oven never even enters the mind… but when winter comes… it is a whole different story. I suppose there is a certain comfort to something as simple buttered toast that harks back to my childhood. That was the standard offering at breakfast growing up. Perhaps the …
