2006-06-27 - 12:45 p.m. It's already Tuesday? looks like. The concert Sunday night went well. I even dressed up in my kilt and stuff so I would look the part of bagpiper extraordinaire. The tune I was playing on was pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself. Yes, the tonality was just "wrong" for the orchestra, but it was still pretty. Our conductor was pleased, especially since he's been wanting me to play with the group for awhile. All the rest of the show went well too. My bassoon stuff was fun and we played a huge variety of stuff. Nothing like mixing African songs, Broadway tunes, and light classical on the same program. I felt a bit odd at one time thinking..."I'm sitting here in a kilt, with a bassoon, playing maracas for an African tune" how weird. It was great fun and we'll be putting on a totally different show in three weeks. Hopefully I can drag a few of my friends to the show. I've been playing in this group for 14 years and mostly only my Mom comes to the performance. I don't think I want them to come because I'm playing, (I don't think) but it's a really great group and I think several folks would enjoy it. Oh well, it's not a big deal. *I* enjoy it and that's what matters. I spent yet more time in the dentist chair yesterday since my new crown was STILL not right. He ground some more of it down and today it feels better. Let's hope that's it and I don't have to go back, I'm kind of over it. I am soooo ready for this evening. For the first time in about 2 weeks I've got a night to myself. I don't have a rehearsal, I don't have a lesson to give, I don't have anywhere I *have* to be. This is becoming more and more of a novelty lately and it is really starting to get on my nerves. The rest of this week is booked, except for Friday and next week will be hell week for sure. It's time for the Grandfather Mt. Games yet again. I'm starting to worry that I'm doing way too much and if I don't slow down a bit I'm going to exhaust myself and get sick. This is not a good thing.
