Got my accompaniast.
Step one complete.
Now I just have to brush it all up.
If I play well, I have a chance at winning.
A chance is all I need.
My mom dug out the "Phantom of the Opera" sheet musci the other day. I want to arrange it for quartet.
Why oh why did Weber just HAVE to write the prettiest pieces in 5 flats?
That's SO totally WRONG.
And with my stunted fourth finger, its nearly impossible.
Too bad.
I'm gonna play it anyways.

By the way, I won the competition, performed at the concert, did great, ate cake afterwards, ran around hugging people and being congratulated...yeah, life is GOOD!
