Sunny Winter's Day

Coffee in hand. Headphones on. Eyes closed. Play. Wake up to the world a little more gently today.

Good morning, good morning! Or evening, actually. The night is coming fast, and the evening colors are streaking across the sky. Electricity is in the air, and there is power in the music.

Good morning, good morning! This is a short improv I put together looking out the window at a single-digits winter's day bathed in sunlight. Enjoy the listen. Imagine your breath hanging before you in a cloud of crystalline shimmer.

Playing this song, I tried to let no pressure through, no deadlines, no to-do list... just empty, letting the music guide me. I don't do that enough - let the music tell me where to go. I am usually afraid of letting go, but I opened myself up a little today. Not a lot, but a little, and it was nice.

Good morning, good morning! As we near winter, we will say goodbye to rain for a while (at least some of us will!). This improvisation reminds me a touch of a gray rain. Hear the drops fall. See the sheets shift with the gusting winds. Breathe in and out with the rise and fall of the sound of the rain. Let it wash over you. Release and relax. Enjoy.

Good morning, good morning! We all encounter moments of challenge, where darkness and despair threaten our spirit and sanity. Take this minor key improvisation as a brief diversion. I throw the major four chord in the mix - I couldn't entirely give in!

Good morning, good morning! Enjoy this week's improvisation/meditation - it's a lighter piece in a major key, so you can close your eyes and shut down your mind for a moment. -Josh

Good morning, good morning! A noontime recording today brings a sense of both stillness and urgency. So much is going through our minds these days that we cannot simply ignore, but when we want to quiet our minds, we can choose to allow our thoughts to wash over us, at least for a few minutes. Swim in the ocean of your thoughts. Allow them to pass in waves. Slow down. Calm down. Close your eyes and let your mind release. -Josh Support the GMGM project at patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

Good morning, good morning! I incorporated an introspective left hand melody into the opening measures of this improvisation. It combines with a sunny right hand for a cheery motivator on your Monday morning. - Josh Support the project at https://patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

Good morning, good morning! Today's installment is a groovy little ditty that fell down during an afternoon session. Close your eyes and breathe. Clear your mind and relax. Enjoy the moment. -Josh Support the project at https://patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning
