@wjasonmiller.bsky.socialThank you to everyone who came out to City Lights Bookstore in Sylva yesterday for "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."
I'm grateful for every person who showed up and for the time to talk about this book. It was a good room to be in.
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialLegendary singer/songwriter, concert pianist & activist Nina Simone’s first (and only) US #Billboard #Top40 hit, her version of the George & Ira Gershwin pop/jazz standard “I Loves You, Porgy,” peaked at #18 on the #Hot100 chart the week ending October 5, 1959. #NinaSimone #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialThe melody of 'Pusherman' and 'In the Dark' woven together on the piano. A quiet practice session.

@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialA quiet morning, piano practice sessions filled with the moods of Pusherman and Nina Simone. There's something about these sounds that feels like inviting disaster while pounding coffee. Maybe 10 minutes, pushing it.

@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialTaking a moment for some morning piano practice, channeling the mood of Pusherman and Nina Simone's 'In the Dark'. A quiet moment of musical reflection. #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialMorning piano practice, channeling Pusherman and In The Dark. This one felt particularly good on the keys. I'm really enjoying five-finger patterns lately, especially with Christmas music without lyrics. #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
@yeticomplex.bsky.socialA nice evening with @ninasimone 🥰💜

@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialOne of those mornings where the dryer is going. Trying to play along to the beat, but it's a disruption. Should finish its cycle before I leave. Note to self: washer machine composition. Get on it. #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
@ourdailyafrica.bsky.socialNina Simone believed the Black freedom struggle had won important battles but stopped short of what was possible.
“I was very disappointed that we didn’t take over the world.”

@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialAttempting Nina Simone's 'This Bitter Earth' or 'Sinner Man' feels ambitious. Decided against 'Something's Got a Hold of Me' for now, and skipping 'Blue Skies' and Carly (even with the fitting name!). Might revisit 'I Like Wine' later, but not today. #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialThe quiet intimacy of a moment: just you and the beat of a heart in the dark, when fingertips meet lips. A scene straight out of Nina Simone's "In the Dark." #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
@tomjwegner.bsky.socialHappy 61st birthday to the #NinaSimone album #PastelBlues. Released on this day in 1965.
@dripdripfingertips.bsky.socialPracticing Nina Simone's 'Pusherman' and 'In the Dark' on the piano. The opening of 'Pusherman' is a whole mood, but nope, not doing that song again. Enjoying 'In the Dark' for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID #ninasimone #pianopractice #piano
