I remember sitting on the floor, as my older brother took trumpet lessons and my dad sat, waiting, drumming out beats on his knees. When the lesson was done, the trumpet teacher and his wife, an elementary music teacher, came up to me, age 7, and asked, what instrument will you play when you are old enough? I didn't even hesitate: the saxophone. And so it was, with the trumpet teacher's wife - Mrs. Pontecorvo -- my first favorite teacher, the one who taught me how to make music. #smallstories
@dogtrax a music origin story, cool, now intermediated, intercogitated, and interpolated: https://youtu.be/gBWPjP_7K3c #smallstories @katebowles @Algot @Nomadwarmachine @sensor63 @taniasheko
@tellio @dogtrax You two are soul creatives. :)
@taniasheko @tellio If you write one, we'll honor your writing, too. No pressure, tho. Just reciprocal thinking
@dogtrax @tellio I'd love to. Is it a personal story?
@taniasheko @tellio I'd be lying if I said I knew all the rules (if there are any), other than to try to use the hashtag #smallstories I've been doing small slices of life.
@dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko Here's the credited version of my thoughts on your thoughts. Interestingly I now can't remember why I gave it this title. But I'm thinking about hearing stories. So here it is. #smallstories https://mastodon.social/media/lcz5ZBjx7MpDATDvAfE
@katebowles @taniasheko @tellio Intriguing title. Is this due to the act of listening? (listening without sounds of the voice of the writer as auditory element?). I like the title and appreciate the craft of your piece.
@dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko I made one for @lauraritchie but I'm cautious about file size of all these videos. I wonder about a #smallstories remix repository. I know several here have been thinking about storycare. Me, I'm just loving this slow craft, like beading. @Tdorey @econproph @ShorterPearson
@katebowles @ShorterPearson @econproph @Tdorey @lauraritchie @taniasheko @dogtrax Perhaps the simplest repository would be a YouTube playlist? Yeah, I know, sucks, but perhaps one of several digital spaces, redundancy and all.
@tellio @dogtrax @taniasheko @lauraritchie @Tdorey @econproph @ShorterPearson That's a start. I have one for Laura. Where could I put it?
@katebowles @ShorterPearson @econproph @Tdorey @lauraritchie @taniasheko @dogtrax OK, now I gotta think it through: create a playlist, drag in all the links, share out. Of course, that makes you the bawsssss curator unless there is some way to share a YouTube account.

@tellio @dogtrax @taniasheko @lauraritchie @Tdorey @econproph @ShorterPearson That's what I wondered, about sharing curation.

Something about this whole process for me is about learning new things, both how-to things and storywork things.

@katebowles we should ask @cogdog and @blamb about video curation platforms... maybe @Tdorey knows if a Splot would work? http://splot.ca/ @ShorterPearson @econproph @taniasheko @dogtrax @tellio
@lauraritchie @tellio @dogtrax @taniasheko @econproph @ShorterPearson @Tdorey @blamb And @cogdog is the ghost in all my thoughts here, as a photographer who narrates, and taught me to look more closely.

@katebowles @blamb @Tdorey @ShorterPearson @econproph @taniasheko @dogtrax @tellio @lauraritchie There's splot-ability here (splot+possibility). I've wanted to make a combo of the image http://splot.ca/splots/tru-collector/ and sound one http://splot.ca/splots/tru-sounder/ + video (did 1 for Bryan J).

Need to parse time to do this.
