Best wishes for your continued recovery, Karl. I don't have much time to post at the moment, but I still keep an eye on developments. Glad to see you're forging ahead with new projects.

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

How odd!  I was just thinking this morning that it must be close to a year ago that you were incapacitated so suddenly!

Best Wishes for THE FUTURE!!!   0:)

Well done Karl and keep up the good work. I certainly does not feel like a year ago - but perhaps maybe it does to you, or even longer! Your progress has been steady and your attitude has been admirable throughout.

Great to see you doing better and better, Karl!

Karl mentioned to me just today that he has been busy with choir work for Christmas, but has tinkered a little bit with a new composition for flute and vibraphone: A Snootful of Hooch.   ;)

You've done very well Karl.
Wishing you continuous improvement in 2020 and beyond.

Thank very much, Ron; greatly appreciated!

I have some seven numbers from the ballet as a playlist on YouTube.

While I have just short of two hours of the music done, the ballet is not quite complete.

My plan is, once I have the Op. 150 in the can, to address myself to wrapping up the ballet, at last.  I mean to have it done before my birthday, in October.


Well, my birthday has come and gone. The concerts with A Heart So White went very well, indeed.  As did the Triad concerts last month;  and I am very proud of my church choir, and of how well they performed the Christmas concert last week, and they are very well prepared for our Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols.  I am headed to Jersey Christmas morning to see Mom, siblings, aunts and uncles.

I do have more ideas flitting through my mind for A Snootful of Hooch, for when I return, just short of the turning of the year.

While there is both audio and video of A Heart So White at the Woburn Public Library, I'm waiting for after Christmas, when my old mate Scott can help install memory into my laptop, so I can run all the wheels smoothly.

Here's a question that may or may not have been asked before, Karl, but how do you organize your own compositions? By opus number, by date of composition, or do you have your own numbering system?
