The recording here is an edited version of a walk I took to go pick up a clarinet accessory. This was the first time I started clarinet, in late 2018. I've since taken it up again and I think I'm better than I was at my previous peak.
On the way back, I completely by chance ran into my friend Makenna. You can sort of hear us talking about this and that, and about a bar that we used to go to for a weekly trivia night. We do movie nights now, which is much less loud and expensive and more fun.
This track is the only one that bares some resemblance to my current reality, since I'm back to learning clarinet, I still take walks, and I still hang out with Makenna almost every week. Not this week, though. We're all a little scared. But I'm certain that movie night will return.
