So I gave my song its debut performance, it was also my debut performance with either of my partners (and their first time meeting one another!), and I really think it was a success. Waiting (impatiently) to listen to the recording that Sylvia shot, that she's sharing with me as we speak... [off to check messages] (I mean it sounded as I was playing it like a successful performance... and Sylvia and Ellen and Rebecca all were happy with it with it as well. Waiting to hear the recording of it for myself for confirmation.) update Yep, it's a keeper! Will post soon.

The dropped beat -- the hiccup -- is happy.

A big step in my songwriting progress: next Sunday I'll be playing my song Rainy Day Woman at my teacher's recital in New Providence with Oliver Shapiro (my teacher) playing the first cello part and Rebecca Turner singing. So exciting! This will be the first public performance of any of my compositions that I've written since I started using Noteflight in earnest a few months ago, and is my first time having another cellist play my composition. I've rehearsed it separately with Mr. Shapiro and with Rebecca, and feel confident/hopeful that the two of them will fit together seamlessly :). (Mindful of course of how it could not work out. Got my fingers crossed!)
 The practice tape with Rebecca is fun to listen to. There are a couple of hiccups but overall the song moves very nicely.

Today (inspired to search by the recent buzz over British Royal Names) I learned that the father of King Offa of Mercia was named Thingfrith! (behind his back, they called him "King Say it don't spray it")
