Exercise is good

June 19, 2006 at 1:46 PM

I went to the gym yesterday for the first time since sometime in April (before my recital). I'm out of shape. It can happen so quickly. And I'm a big proponent of cardio and light weight lifting for fiddle players. It helps me so much. And stretching, of course.

Going to the hall tonight to record....Chaccone, Pag. 5, Pag. 1 (caprices). Just going to see what happens, experiment with mic placement, etc. Should be interesting.

Oh, and happy belated Father's Day to myself and every other father! My son's name is Leo. He's two! And to brag, he has perfect pitch. It's crazy. And....he's now identifying major and minor triads perfectly. It's actually a little scary. He's 2 and 3 months....

You have a right to be very proud of your gifted son. Keep encouraging him.
Hey, William, a belated happy father's day!
