ReplyDeleteAh, like all good Amish, you're up at the crack of dawn. (Yes, we have power again - more than 3.5 hours without.)
Would love a copy of your viola 'repertoire' sometime Gerald. It's amazing how you have a musical number,comment,hit etc for every situation. I am in awe of your musical knowledge. Glad you're managing to keep up with your busy schedule - in some ways it's probably a great distractor. In my class I have several 'great distractors'unfortunately!! Keep smiling.
