(added later)  Wow, it's been a long time since I've really posted anything here.  Well, if anyone still visits this site...

And if anyone really does want to talk about early music, I'd love to discuss it.  ANything you like.  or in fact, just any topic at all wouldn't be bad. lol.

Howdy all!

Well, this is it.  The big day.  *sighs*  It's been a wild ride, y'know, from drafting the proposal, to submitting the proposal at the last minute, to writing a symphony and arranging a fugue...to finding musicians...to rehearsing...to securing a concert date...  and now, the concert.  In no more than 3 hours and 15 mins., we will be on stage.

And during those 4 months of my life, I've been wroking like nuts on this project, while also seeing NYC, Pennsylvania, Atlanta, etc. etc...  I've been up spiritually and down spiritually, happy and depressed, healthy and sick.  'Tis been an amazing ride.

So, how are all of you this afternoon?  HOpe all is well. And...I know, I haven't visited some of you in ages.  Thomas, Ashley, Karoline, well, actually, is there anyone I've been visiting regularly?!?  But I really would love to hear from you, and know how you're all doing.  But then, I ought to visit all your blogs for that! lol.  ;-P

But yes, I've been working with viols, oboe d'amores, viola d'amores, and other exotics a lot lately.  Finally, isntead of dreaming, I'm actually doing.  Isn't that cool?   But it's been tough, all right.
