Oops...

I started learning classical organ pedal technique and my teacher suggested loosely binding my legs together with a belt. That worked great until the phone rang and I nearly killed myself trying to get it.

Christmas Music at Fair

Bristol Glen will be having its Christmas Fair this Saturday and they have asked me to play Christmas music from 9-11. Someone else will be playing from 11-1. Luckily I have been scanning Christmas music into my computer so I will have a large sample to play. It will be background music, not a concert, so 2 hours should not be a problem. I ran through most of my Christmas songs at home and it took 1 hour... playing the set twice will be okay... with a break in between for bathroom and whatever.

Transcribing King Kong March

I have had for a while the King Kong March (from the 1939 movie) but it is a very dirty copy. Just recently I started transcribing it into my music scoring program (Encore.) It is a fun project. As I go about entering each note, I can more thoroughly analyze the harmony.
