Enormously pleased with today's performance!

Program starts 14 minutes-ish in.

My bassoonist friend Greta tuned in, and has shared the concert with a brace of flutists.

I can practically hear the light bulb switch on: Would Greta like to participate in the Ensemble?

I would think that bassoonists always feel a little left out!

I'll sound her out come Sunday.

Probably as a result of the great vibe of yesterday's concert I was motivated to make my way to the final double-bar of the Opus 197 Fantasia. In all events, yet again I'm at the "review and add dynamics" stage, but I'll let it cure overnight. As it is, though, it's eight minutes in duration and 384 measures. Will revisit it tomorrow.

We Came, We Saw, We Hopped

She's done! Well, I need to re-do the video as the endimg got cut off. Must have been my error.

My yoga mat and blocks arrived this week, so I've registered for two yoga classes at the library this month.

I had fun. I was frequently lost as he went through the routine. But that's fine. A couple of times I went over to a chair at the side of the room. One lady afterwards was very kind, she said, in effect, stay on the mat and just do things that are comfortable. The instructor is nice and came to help me out a couple of times. Even my limited participation was good exercise and I felt good. I certainly need to do that some more. Can't beat free at the Library.

Carol got right back to me, she really likes it.

Have you still been checking into other part-time work or too busy with rehearsals, etc.?

Agreeably tied up musically. Must resume the search in earnest.

Just out from PT. We played a little Catch, which we had not in a while. The left hand gets a little better all the time.

[Karl Henning]

Separately, my weekly PT appointment is one of the very few things I do for which regular MBTA service actually works for me. So now that I've got an active Charlie Card again. I took the bus up to the appointment and back to the Library. I've now walked to a Chinese restaurant for lunch and then will walk home.
