I wanted to clean the fishtank, but by the time I got around to being ready to do it, it's thunder and lightning all over the place and my mother won't let us use the bathrooms or leave the TV plugged in. So I couldn't really stick my hand in 29 gallons o
It was wicked hot today.

My new book of solos for bassoon: Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Bizet, and the like, followed by Bernstein.

I guess this was an issue when it first came out in the 60s, because the forward tells me that the Bach can be played even without piano accompaniment, the levels of the pieces, and set up of the book, and that the publishers thought the Bernstein was a good contemporary piece for the set.

Whatever. Now I can learn "The Sorceror's Apprentice."

When the director brings kids to the elementary school to showcase instruments, he sometimes brings a bassoon, and kids now expect that piece. I've been afraid I'd have to go someday and be stuck playing "The Lonely Goatherd" as a fun, instrument oriented piece and make the kids who've never seen The Sound of Music feel inferior, since they're still young enough to think it's a classic they're missing out on.

Or was that just me?
