Me and the Glockenspiel

Me and the Glockenspiel, originally uploaded by johntynan.

In my desire to start making music (we still haven’t unpacked our boxes) I picked up a new keyboard… of sorts… a glockenspiel.

I’ve had this sound in my head for months now, a pairing with the accordion. This bell-like tone and the deep reedy sound of the concertina.

One night, Rene and I went thrift store shopping, just to look around and have some fun. We were just leaving the store with a cute French navy outfit for Miles when, I spotted it… there. High upon on the wall. Above a row of suitcoats. A gleaming glockenspiel!

I normally wouldn’t do it, but Rene insisted I give in. And it’s been fun! I’ve been playing it for just over a week and I’ve really taken to it. I love the simple precision of how it’s played and the clarity of the notes.

Once we are able to open our baggage, I’m going to drag out the accordion and the audio recorder and put together some music that I hope will approach the sound that I’ve been meaning to create.

Walking Miles in his Stroller Makes his Dad Happy

Miles in his Stroller at Bon Air Park, originally uploaded by johntynan.

Yesterday, when pushing Miles in his stroller into the grocery store, he looked up at me with such a wonderful smile that I almost cried with happiness. All I could do was smile back and talk lovingly to him as I shuffled dreamily through the aisles.

#pubmedia Q4: How about a process where local stations organize meetup around one show. All have a shared experience, basis for discussion. #
#pubmedia Q3: I'd like to have fundraising metrics of specific programs across stations. Does that exist? Should it? #

@beyondbroadcast My #pubmedia project is new, so I don't have adoption just yet. But I would like to advocate for collaboration as impact. in reply to beyondbroadcast #
I'd like to encourage open source collaboration as a way to measure impact for #pubmedia downloads, feature requests, bug reports, commits. #
hi all! John Tynan here. I'm a web application developer and a believer in all things #pubmedia #
