Gut strings

It’s finally summertime again… I can’t believe it’s been six months since R and I got married ~ time just flies by!!  As kids are playing outside and the trees are growing greener and more lush each day, I start to think more about what each day will hold for me.  R will be leaving for HI in a few weeks while I have some loose ends to tie: a few wedding gigs, Luna coaching and recording session, student recitals, and private lessons to give.  Not too busy it seems, but I’m also starting up a new collection hobby which might break my bank, so I’ll keep quiet about it until I have something to show.  Hint: it’s nothing related to music.

I just played in a Catholic wedding yesterday with some fellow HBCO friends.  It was my first baroque gig!  And I have to say that I really enjoyed it.  Not only do I get to sightread familiar old tunes, I get to play them on GUT STRINGS in a nice modern church.  The pure and calm sounds were elegantly appropriate for works of Bach and Pachelbel :]  I am a fan of baroque music in weddings!
