Never mind.

In which I almost return to blogging, but cop out at the last minute.

Dear comrades, I was really going to write my third blog tonight, about the orchestra concert I played in last night, and our amazing guest conductor from Poland, about the cool modern piece we played, about how we are still all trying to figure out WHO dropped a beat in the Liszt and nearly blew the whole thing to smithereens, and how I accidentally became assistant concertmaster for a while.

But I'm too tired, so for the time being, please do enjoy this amusing and enlightening article I just came across: it is a behind-the-scenes vignette of life in the Takacs Quartet written by their first violinist, Edward Dusinberre. Here is the link: http://www.calendarlive.com/music/cl-ca-takacs4mar04,0,827575.story?coll=cl-music

More later, honestly.

Maura! Ahhhh! I want to read your blog! Sounds exciting...
What a tease you are!
Later, I swear. Go read the Takacs article I linked to! It's really funny!
Great link! I've been wondering what it has been like for Geri (rest of name?) to adapt. Surely a challenge, yes? Always glad to read about the Takacs gang.

Eager to hear more blogging, but can well appreciate BFS - the dreaded syndrome that occurs when one grows greatly fatigued at the though of blogging. : )
