I have a new best friend, last week I went to Target and bought a boom box with a tape player. I use the tape player to record specific selections of Bach that i dont understand or play well and then I tape the sections like ten times in a row. Then I play along to the tape and it really helps alot.

I see Bob is now writing a blog, very cool, he's a good player and knowledgeable violinist with impeccable taste, I dont think he has been to this site before but I look forward to reading his posts.

Hey Laurie, those people are fools for not hiring you.

I had a few sessions of note juggling last week. When I play Bach I read the notes and play them many different ways until I like how it sounds. Every note has a meaning and the thing is to understand the meaning and function of every note. Sometimes I have some ideas that are different than how it is written and I have fun coming up with my own idea of how things should sound.

That and when I was driving home from the sheet music store yesterday, a radio announcer made me aware that there is 100% chance of rain when it is raining, uh ok.
