Opera rehearsal was “meh” (to quote some kids I know). My reed didn’t exactly misbehave, but it wasn’t the sort I’d want to play a performance on. Lots of silly music, though … it’s a comedy, after all.
Now I teach a student, so I can’t quite relax yet.
The nice thing about having an afternoon rehearsal is that I have my evening free. The bad thing is that I had to cancel two of three students, which I dislike doing, and I have to miss Friday’s opera rehearsal entirely because I can’t really cancel my UCSC students.
Still … an evening entirely off is a good thing! :-)
…and the real reason you disliked canceling lessons this afternoon was because you missed out on a chance to play oboe 819…:)
“meh” — hehehe.
How do the kids feel about you subsuming their language? :-)
Tim … you caught me! (I was just bragging about your oboe to my colleague at opera today, and again to another student.)
SongMonk … I’ve not thought to ask them. I prefer to just borrow the word though; they can have it back. If they ask. Nicely. ;-)
