May. 9th, 2004 02:58 pmwhee! lookie! it's a computer!
i'm in a library with delightfully free internet access. only 5 minutes walk from the house where we've been rehearsing too. and it's air conditioned. i am a happy phin.
do me a favor and leave me a comment in which you call me phin. i miss it. :)
so. this morning we rehearsed (instruments only) for a good 4 hours and then made our exhausted way to a pizza place for lunch. damn is this stuff intense. but it's also exciting and going really well. the percussion makes everything so much fun. in this poor person's living room right now, there's a grand piano, a synthesizer, 4 timpani, a snare, tom tom, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and other wee things, and tubular bells. it sounds great.
and i'm getting a good physical and mental workout. it's a perfect setup really. i'm not in charge, andy the pianist is. he is making most of the musical decisions but i have to help everyone execute them at the same time. it works, team-wise, and i'm learning some good things about working with instruments, especially percussion.
so, i have to back and rehearse more (we only made it through act i before lunch) but one of these days i'll share more about the interesting characters here.
much love to all of you.
