Winter

OK - you got me. That was a pretty good one. The bright sunshine and 50+ degreeness and general mellow feeling falling over the earth only a couple of days ago gave way to a "spring" snow last night. But anyone who has been through these things knows never to declare winter "over" just because we've moved past the vernal equinox. But hey! It was actually very beautiful. And we all know it won't last, precisely because we HAVE moved on in to the Tropic of Cancer.

Quinn called and said only Epstein (piano) could make the rehearsal, as Retzlaff and Marcus were otherwise engaged (not to each other mind you), so I was dismissed as well. She said there was nothing we haven't played so it'll be fine. (I guess Ted Firth is working on some new charts though - for upcoming gigs).

I've got to get on to Brooklyn to see Jim. We are finishing Sokaku Reibo today.
