Im thinking a lack of Jimmy Stewart movies during the holidays is actually a good thing, and thank goodness he didnt play violin (as far as I know). Congrats to Tracy for playing a decent Brahms, playing 10ths musically sure is no easy feat!
We played Carpenters christmas music all day, that wonderful velvet-like voice just fit perfectly as I opened gifts full of violin recordings that I already own.
I loathe going through the returns process especially when shipping is involved but what is important is that their hearts were in the right place and I actually would have preferred a card with nothing in it but a signature. I think Ill get the book full of Mozart concertos in exchange for sonatas vol 1. I cant wait to play concertos three and four, gorgeous stuff.
The last few weeks I have been going out and met this guy Jerry who I have become good friends with, so anyways he brings in his niece and I think it is possible I have met my soulmate. Finding someone in my life will allow me to have more time to focus on the music again and I know Ill be much happier.
I have a feeling this will be the best year of my life.
