I’m seeing some poetry at some rather popular (I think) music sites. Poetry that I know isn’t in the public domain yet. So maybe I was wrong when I blogged about it being illegal to put poetry up at our sites. I wonder. Anyone out there know? I’m just curious because of course I’d post poetry here if I knew I wasn’t breaking any laws.

Yes, I’m picky that way. Some of my friends would say I’m a bit nuts, in fact, about following rules.

Or maybe I’m nuts about everything. Could be.

But for now here’s a Very Bad Poem™ for you:

I don’t care what he might say—
I’ll take Mozart any day.

In other news …
The rehearsal was great fun this morning. Turns out the concert is nearly sold out, too! Not bad. But having a 10:00 rehearsal has really zonked me out. I’m going to shut my eyes for a time so that I don’t shut them during oboe lessons. Sleeping on the job is such a bad idea! I did hear one story about a teacher who really did fall asleep during a lesson he was teaching. Ouch. I can’t imagine the student felt good about that. Unless she hadn’t practiced. In that case maybe she was merely relieved.
