Hey, anybody know if there's a DOSKEY feature for the WinNT command prompt? I miss it.

Oh never mind, google search.

Now that was a rehearsal

Yeah, so more repetoire gets stacked up. One of our violinists who's leaving this year wants to play the 3^rd movement from Summer (That's like Vivaldi, and stuff) at the spring recital. Site read it today, I remember three years ago playing with Tori Lindsey it was absolutely labourious and I thought I was going to die by the end. No problem this evening. None at all.

*polishes nails*

And like I didn't know I was a mage according to the WoD Quiz. Duh. I hang around Ian (etherlad) enough to osmosify more White Wolf info than most players. PS: Ian Day® will be re-scheduled.

Violas

I think I deserve a good viola.

All those rich kids I've met in various youth orchestras have wicked instruments and don't work half as hard as I do. Trust me, I've been in master classes and rehearsals with them. The thing has NO response on fast passages, the attack is just so crunchy and muffled. I mean, sure my playing could improve but it's really hard to do when your working with CRAP. A real catch-22 sorta situation. And let's not even talk about projection, I'm suprised anybody can ever hear me play in an ensemble.
