I’ve not been able to blog recently. First I was sick … feeling so rotten, in fact, that I wasn’t sure how I was going to play the seven hours of rehearsal for Les Mis on Wednesday. And then, of course, I did play both yesterday and today (and yes, I did fine and I’m getting better), so I’ve been a tad busy. Oh … when I write “yesterday and today” I’m actually referring to Wednesday and Thursday. It still feels like Thursday to me, but I get home from the show after midnight. It’s been a long day, what with a rehearsal, a long sound check and a show. Since I was ill prior to the job starting my mouth is a bit weary. I’m guessing the doubles on Saturday and Sunday will cause the embouchure to strengthen somewhat quickly.
Don’t expect much from me in the next few days, please. If the mouth feels like mush, the brain is acting much the same! (Verified very clearly by this ramble.)
