What a great weekend! The band did a great job on both concerts. The singers, having lived with A Heart So White for several weeks now, have really grown into the roles, and sing the piece with a natural dramatic intensity.

As the Library has only begun hosting musical events, we were something of a pilot endeavor. The audience was very light: in fact, the audience was almost solely people we invited or brought. Still, a beautiful setting, and we'd like to see about making the Library a kind of hike base. It is the Library performance which we video-recorded.

If I can grab a video editing program, I shall see about hoisting it up to YouTube.

The audience at the church today was sizable, and, even allowing for the fact that they're "my people," and came predisposed to cheer, we knocked 'em out.

One thing is, we need a longer program. The half-hour program, of course, was tailored to the King's Chapel lunchtime series. But, in principle, this lot are ready to build out a longer program.

Excellent to hear about the performance reaching a higher level of intensity!  And yes, please let us experience  the concert via YouTube!   0:)

That all sounds great Karl. You sound, rightly, very pleased with how things went.

Last night dreamt that I put the clarinet together and played. As I bring my brain back, it now knows, too, that it will happen.

Here's hoping dreams come true...this particular dream anyway.

That is a great target to work towards.

Great to read, Karl. Here's to your continued recovery!

Today is the anniversary of my event.  It's been quite the adventure.  I'm very lucky, doing better and better, spirits are good.

Happy anniversary!...happy in the sense that you survived, and survived with your spirit intact. Very gratifying to hear, Karl. May your next anniversary be celebrated with a full recovery.
