No, the power did not go out in the hall.
Yes, we played.
No, it was not warmer.
Yes, I wasn’t comfortable.
Oh well. Can’t have it all, eh?
I had one very odd moment. My brain simply stopped. Or something stopped. When we get to the one lick I blogged about earlier, I first hold a measure of high B. Then I do the run down. As I’m holding the B, I’m thinking “I can’t move my fingers!” Really. It was as if they were frozen. Fortunately I played the darn thing. Unfortunately I had a glitch. Fortunately the other winds came in by then so I’m hoping the audience didn’t even hear it. (Mike? Care to be honest and tell me if the error was glaring? No pressure if you don’t wanna!)
Now I’m home and the rain continues. This is very good news for our area, as we’ve already been told we will soon be on water rationing. Water rationing is tough when one is already attempting to ration water. Seems like those who have wasted water these past years are rewarded by being allowed more water than us. (I’m assuming it’s like last time we had this; your allotted amount is based on past usage. I think it should be based on the size of your yard and the number of people living in your home. But what do I know?)
Tomorrow I’ll finally get to see some of the Amgen Tour of California! Oboe break time.
