Music Performance
Since my first professional oboe gig on Christmas Eve of my eighth grade year—and really since my first public musical performance in my short-lived violin career at age five—I have loved playing instruments in support of events ranging from church services to musical theater productions to concerts and recitals. More recently, I have also embraced opportunities to play ukulele and bass guitar with rock bands and alto saxophone with Providence’s Extraordinary Rendition Band.

This song is the first in my “Silly Sunday Songs” project, trying to improve my songwriting by writing as many songs as possible without worrying too much about how good they (or the videos) are. Vist the channel for more songs in the series!
