jennlkeverytime I play an actual indoor concert with the FCB, I'm reminded of how good they really are. J says they sound like a band, not just a bunch of people playing together. And that's really the goal. LCCB is full of decent musicians, but it's not a band -- there's not as much listening to each other for dynamics and style and balance as there really should be. I'm still getting used to sitting in the middle of the band, after 15 years of sitting in the back row with the tubas. The concert went well, and strike was *fast* with half the band helping.
I did still have the cat jacket (halloween cats), so I wore that. I didn't find the vest that goes under it, so I just wore it over a white shirt. I need to make a vest (lime green with purple trim, probably) and/or a proper floofy blouse to go under it. And maybe a drapey ruffly skirt, rather than the black leggings.... I definitely need to get better insoles for the boots -- the old ones that are in there are sliding around.
There is a pool of red and gold leaves under the crab apple tree in the front yard. It's very pretty, even though the day itself is drab and damp.
Today is the day I swap out the summer curtains for the winter ones -- we're "not home" for Halloween, so I need to put the heavy curtains up. (I think our high point for Trick-or-Treaters was 15 groups, and that was years ago, when there were more kids in the neighborhood. There's a few houses with kids, but most houses are empty-nesters like us. The last year I was "home" for Halloween, I had two groups stop by, and one was the next-door neighbors...)
