I don’t know what the rest of the country is like, but the weather couldn’t be any better in April in Wisconsin than it is today! It is in the 60’s, sunny, not windy. And the flowers are starting to coming up and the bushes, like lilacs, are starting to bud. It is the kind of day that the dogs like to plop down on the sidewalk in the sun and just stay outside.

I’m practicing at Roselawn three times today, plus leading my one class at work and meeting with people, etc. Then there is the big concert tonight, but I’m not really very nervous. I play for one song, which is actually rather hard, then I sit for two accapella songs, then play another, rather easy one, then another is done accapella. Then it is intermission. The second half we have two pianos and 5 percussionists, playing very loudly. I have the easier piano part, so I’m not worried about that, even if they actually could hear me, which they usually cant! My biggest worry is coming in at the right time, what with fast page turns between movements.
