Great writing and welcome home GEORGE! I call it muscle memory - you dont have to think - the fingers fall into place because you have done it so many times - this is why practice is so important - you dont have to think as much, you have more control, and the performance becomes more instinctive

good to hear you are with george again and are well and safe after all that happened, hope violin goes well for you this new year and that your neighbors will be a little less prone to rage

I am glad George is back. That should keep you out of trouble for a while! Ever considered being a short story writer?

I have that same experience regarding high notes in orchestra when sight-reading. Somehow it doesn't quite happen like that when I'm sight-reading something alone, at home. :)

Ahh! It's like a rainbow!

I love your blogs Emily. And the moose. But that comes second.

Not a short story writer, a memoirist. Great writing. Awwww. Hope you had a wonderful reunion with your honey. You know what, Jennifer, I wonder if playing in an orchestra is akin to flying in a flock of sparrows. Sparrows develop a singular mind and somehow move as one unit. I wonder if orchestras have the potential to function the same way.

I suppose that's a stretch. That's just what it reminded me of.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments.

Linda, I assumed that was your moose again. We keep running into each other.

Well you betta watch out because my moose has life insurance.
