My apologies. It’s been far too long between posts. No real excuses but have been caught up trying to get through the first semester of University for 2010. Only 2 assignments to go and I’m done!!!
I’ve been doing a bit of playing, but as always not as much as I would like. Did a gig in Sale this week just past playing the soundtrack live to a silent movie. Met some great new muso friends and will hopefully be talking about them on the blog over the coming weeks. Had fun playing that gig and have been doing some fill-in big band gigs as well.
Had done 4 rehearsals for Miss Saigon which is going to open next weekend at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong. I’m playing reed 3, alto saxophone, clarinet and flute and as I am the only reed player playing saxophone have all those saxophone solos that are mentioned in the lyrics of some of the well known songs. Rehearsals have been going well and the cast and orchestra sound awesome so it should go well. It’s playing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in June so that will keep me busy this month.
Apart from playing and teaching and uni stuff, I’m still working on building websites. Have had a few interesting issues there but I think that is mostly resolved. Looking forward to the school holidays coming up soon to devote more time to relaxing, playing, and maybe even getting some practice done. A novel concept I know, but it’s long overdue. Even thinking about getting some lessons again before too long.
I’ll do my best not to take so long to make another post. Hope you haven’t missed me too much. Feel free to make some comments and let me know what you think and that you are out there.
Take care
