Oboe studio Halloween was a success! #obventure
Nope, no Oboe studio Halloween here. Sorry, folks. Halloween was fun when I had younger children, but I’m sort of over it now and I sure don’t want the candy in the house.
I still remember the student at UCSC who skipped classes on Halloween … she thought the “holiday” was a legitimate excuse. Hmm.
Just a bit ‘o fun!
… and they’ll be in this area in December.
Practicing My Oboe I Honestly Can’t Wait For The Concert Season So I Can Show The Directors The Work I’ve Put Into This !
Its very depressing I actually wanted to go to school today to play oboe :((((
It’s very depressing, but I actually wanted the tweeter to use an apostrophe. Hah!
Sing along with me: You can’t always get what you want. 😉
… and now it is over. What fun to perform with such wonderful musicians! What a joy to hear and play such fine music! I feel very, very blessed. Hearing my friends playing I’m just amazed at their musicality. That they allow me to join in the music making never ceases to amaze me.
For now I’m just going to leave it at that.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony are betting that their respective hometown teams will win the World Series.
The two sides have agreed that the winning city’s orchestra will receive a shipment of iconic culinary delights from the loser.
What they haven’t decided is what specific kind of food or foods it will be.
Both the DSO and the SFS are asking people to offer their suggestions via the orchestras’ Facebook pages and Twitter feeds.
Detroit Symphony music director Leonard Slatkin says that “in the spirit of friendly competition, the DSO is challenging our colleagues in the San Francisco Symphony for bragging rights and spoils in the orchestral World Series.”

G. VanDooren, 1961, rev.
Preserve me, God, I put my trust in Thee.
I say to Thee, ìThou art my faithful Savior;
Thou art my LORD, I need Thee constantly.
Apart from Thee I can expect no favor.
I love Thy saints, with them I am united,
And in their midst my soul will be delighted.
Those choosing other gods instead of Thee
Increase their sorrows, and their deeds will shame them.
Their blood libations I keep far from me
And I shall never lend my lips to name them.
The LORD is good; I shall forsake Him never;
He is my cup and portion now and ever.
My happy lot wilt Thou maintain, O LORD;
The lines have fallen in most pleasant places.
A goodly heritage didst Thou award;
In beauty it excels earthís choicest spaces.
Thy measuring-rod gave unto me for ever
A place from which no power can me sever.
I praise the LORD and bless Him all the day
For what He by His counsel has provided;
Eíen in the night my heart expounds the way
That I should go; thus I am safely guided.
I worship Him with joy and adoration;
None can deprive me of His preservation.
Therefore I now rejoice with heart and soul;
My flesh shall rest secure in Thy protection.
Thou wilt not leave me down in dark Sheol,
Nor let Thy Holy One there see corruption.
With Thee full joy and bliss are ever present;
The fullness of Thy right hand is most pleasant.
