Playing music together

Jake is getting ready for the Spokane Symphony audition next week and he found the piano accompaniment to the solo he will be playing so we played it together. Fun! Greg, our paparazzi, wanted us to pose for the camera so we really cheesed it!

More music news...I finally broke down and bought the music to Pride and Prejudice and I'm having such a great time with it. It's such pretty music and is more of a challenge than I thought. My rusty fingers have to practice. Playing music is so enjoyable and relaxing yet it takes a lot of concentration.

More music news... We also went to Burt's Music Store and rented a clarinet for Hannah to play. I'm excited to be able to help her with it. I was never that great, but that's the instrument I played in Band.

Hope you're having a great week. Thanks for your prayers. Love, Julie

Why Yes, Betsy!I am happy that she is playing the piano. I hope Jake "Snaps" the audition too!

I have the cold/flu today, made it through yesterday with the help of sudafed. Today was a part Friday, and I only had one stack or essays to grade; therefore, (ain't conjunctive adverbs great!) I slept today. I recorded a nice ditty last night, but when my eyes started to burn from mixing and flu, I decided it was time to burn a cd. (which always concludes a recording session,so that I can evaluate its worth on regular stereo stuff). But today, nothing. . .no tutelary spirit or muse to get me in the studio, I was just sick.

So my point is: you must be feeling pretty good! Its hard to make music when your ill.

Love Jerry
