Madison 4: AM
Yesterday was a much more relaxed and energetic day than Sunday. I'd gotten some good sleep, found the time for half a bagel mid-morning, had a decent lunch. And I realized that Laura and Priscilla play better than I do, but they don't play like God, and that I have a lot of potential. Piping with the drone is a lot harder (at least this drone) because if you don't start the sound with breath, the drone reed overblows. And I am faced with an ergonomic problem: while pushing the bag, my left-hand fingers tighten up.
The lunch wagons were out in full force on the mall, so I had my choice of relatively inexpensive ethnic delicacies.
The beginning of Josquin's Praeter reum seriem doubled by viols and dulcians is very Brahmsian.
There was still a keglet of the Belgian ale untapped, so we had a happy hour at 6. Fortunately, I didn't get too happy to practice.
