Art: Songs Are Painted Music

Kind of on a whim of “let’s try something new” this weekend, my wife and I took part in an Eggshell Mosaic class and we each did a small project used crushed, painted eggshells. Just before the session, I had heard an interview on NPR with James Blake, whose comment about “songs are painted music” lodged in my head, and became the basis for my project.

Six Years To The Day

Six years ago — on a Friday, March 13th — I was standing with my sixth graders at the end of the school day and one of my students asked me about this virus that was on the news. I knew only a little. We left school and didn’t return for the rest of the school year. It’s important to remember. I wrote this song for my school community in the days that followed.

Peace (and memory),
Kevin
