Hey everyone! Hope everyone has had an awesome summer. I’m about to start my second and final year as a Graduate Student at the University of Texas at Austin. Good course schedule this fall:

Observation and Evaluation in Music Education
Supervised Teaching in Music
Survey of the Music of Brazil
Gamelan Ensemble
Brazilian music ensemble

So excited to actually be announcing this…

TODAY I HAVE “Officially” Released my first EP!

The EP is called “Table for Two”, and consists of four songs I have written, recorded, edited, re-recorded, re-edited, mixed – myself – to arrive at this point. The cover photography was done by Christina Locklear, who very generously agreed to help me. Check her out if you have any photography needs (christinalocklear@gmail.com)!

Please give the songs a listen, and let me know what you think. There is a link on my music page www.jaycarlin.com/Music.html where you can go to listen to the songs for free. Also, the first 50 people will be able to download the album for free (though please don’t hesitate to donate a few cents if you’re feeling generous – it might speed up the process for a second, even better release!)… So go check it out now!

Jeff is flying out today to visit for a few days – Spring Break has begun! Off to San Antonio to Pick him up.

P?czki Day!!! Happy Mardi Gras everyone!

I sent a sleep text this morning. That’s right. A text. In my sleep. About 20 minutes before I remember waking up.

So if you have a text on your phone that says “Holds off right offff the way” – don’t even bother asking me what it means.
