Tempo on Friday night was a success. The talent in Marlborough is incredible. With the concert a week ahead of the Rockquest regionals it was a perfect opportunity for the students to perform their originals - and do it my favourite way...acoustic (or semi-acoustic in some cases)
Flight went well. Linda asked me to explain the difference between the violin and viola which normally would have been rather nerve-wracking...but in this case it was a great introduction to the performance. Nerves are still there in the knees, even performing my own piece! One day I hope to lose them completely, but for the meantime they are still part of my performance life.

Next week I head south to Dunedin. Sister is in town and nephew had a birthday over the weekend so great time to catch up with them all.
Also looking forward to catching up with friends - new houses, new gigs, new work spaces...going to be wonderful!
Hey, haven't read your site for a while, great to see all the wonderful updates!
ReplyDeleteAs for the wobbly knees and jittery nerves, I think that is part of performing to a group. Even Bono still gets them!
