Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: Juli Perry Briggs [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:18:38 03/25/03 Tue In reply to: Scott Wilson 's message, "Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM" on 21:35:25 03/04/03 Tue Scott, you asked if we still play ... I kept graduating up and up in qualities of flutes until I owned one that belonged to the former principal flautist of the Boston Pops. Then, I set it down for a few years, picked it back up and realized I'd never do it justice again, and sold it in humiliation (funded a very nice First Cavalry-style military wedding with a lot of the proceeds!! and the flautist who had sold it to me was the featured musician at our wedding because I couldn't choose between the many vocalists I knew and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings). My older daughter tried playing the cello in, I think, fourth grade, and she was horrible at it. I have to admit it is probably because she was sensory deprived in her earlier life... we adopted she and her younger sister out of a Third World orphanage in '97 at ages 8 and 9. Poor little thing, she was working so hard to keep up with her practicing, and I hadn't ever touched a cello in my life, but since I'd played viola when I was in elementary school and then string bass at both Neff and MHS, I thought she needed a little help, and I got ahold of her instrument, rosined up the bow, and went right in and played the heck out of several pages of her exercises. (I think it had been 24 years since I'd touched a stringed instrument!) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Who's holdin the woodblock now? I had forgotten ALL about the woodblock thing.... that is SO hilarious. Mike Groves, at our 25th, told my son the one about me playing the tympani when Mrs. Baumgardner came down the aisle in the auditorium, and I had forgotten that one too. Anyone else out there remembering stuff about me, it's probably true. LOL [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
