Henning's Headquarters

[Karl Henning]

Even if I had entertained the thought of working, even a little, on the new flute duet, PT plus playing Catch just done my brain in. I took one serious nap. Mostly, I think light entertainment is in order. I might work as much as simply setting up the score for the Opus 200 band piece, which I may call What We Do This For, or I may call it something else.

Opus 197 Done

[Karl Henning]

Cross-post. I had a nice catch-up with my old mate Houston Dunleavy the other day. He suffered a reversal of health a few years ago, but he's been mending nicely and is nearly back to 100% He spoke well of Tuesday's concert, and shared this smashing performance of a recent-ish piece of his:

On the matter of one's brain being done in, there is this classic:

Charlie Card

Why a "Charlie" Card?
He's the man who never returned.

And I've now connected with the percussionist. Among other pieces, @Cato I'll send him The Mysterious Fruit.

[Kalevala]

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

So, how is Maria and her mom doing?  And how to get them up north (if her mom wants to)?

They're doing well, thanks! This year the cherries were a little peculiar. They bloomed and then a frost blighted the blossoms, and during the brief time when they were photogenic, it was too cold for the artists to work en plein air. Maria's still trying hard to nail a contract down. A couple of times she was let down by a flighty personality. She keeps trying.

Maria needs to have things tamped down before she'll feel comfortable driving up for a spell.

A contract for what?

Her company to do a job.

[Karl Henning]

Found that I still was not sleeping at 4 ack emma, so I composed a bit more of the flute duet in hopes of tiring the brain. See you on the other side. 

[Karl Henning]

I haven't seen a statement yet, so the why is not yet apparent to me, but my ASCAP  domestic royalties just hit my checking account, the greatest sum I've received to date.

[Kalevala]

Her company to do a job.

O.k., I was thinking that she worked by herself--doing her painting or dyeing on silk.

She does that, too, though it remains a challenge to sell her superb work.
