Dear Forest,

The thing I like best about the Hokey Old Warhorse is that I get to play
with both the bass line and the soprano, usually one right after the other.
At rehearsal the director wanted everyone to hear what the basses were doing
at a particular point and I had the same line, so I played, too. Well, they
stopped and my part continued up in the soprano line, and the director
didn't stop me until the end of the phrase. It was high, it was staccato, it
was *fast* -- and I nailed it. It was exhilarating!!

I still maintain that the only reason I turn red is from the exertion . . .

So, how is the opera season shaping up? What else are you playing? (Winds of
MT -- kinda like All-State for adults -- is coming up the first weekend of
November for me.)

Trios? (If this isn't going to work out, please, let me know and I'll stop
bugging you!)

Marcia
