I dropped off from playing music recently, but now the recorder society chapter I was active in for many years, but also dropped off from, largely because night time, a bit far, coming home tired in the dark, is going online in September. So I'm going to rejoin.
Not entirely sure how this will work, but I think participants play duets with the conductor, don't hear nor see anyone else. Not sure who the conductor sees and hears. Maybe he can mute and unmute.
Anyway the music email has arrived, half a dozen pieces, and I downloaded and printed and instantly learned two things.
One is that I am definitely ready to get back in. The other is that I definitely need a new black cartridge. Evidently the get out the vote push used this one up. Meanwhile, I'll squint.
After I get back from picking up my Tiny Email Book Group selection Where the Crawdads Sing, from the library, I'm going to start in with my new music.
Morley, of La Girandole, meaning sunflower, is a big favorite. I don't know all the composers, and a couple are nearer baroque in period, not my preference, but what's a century between friends?
If you can read music, doesn't this make you want to play? Or sing.
