Sorry (as always lately, it seems) for things being so quiet here. No sooner had we got back from our trip to the UK than I had to prepare for the annual Shoal Survivors lollapalooza, which happened this past weekend in Sturbridge, MA, and which, as usual, involved three nights of performances of demanding material on scant rehearsal. I got home late Monday thoroughly exhausted, and pretty much slept the whole day on Tuesday. (The older I get, the longer it takes to recover from this kind of thing.)
As always, though, it was a fantastic weekend of music with our ever-growing family of players, singers, and friends.
Normal life now resumes, at least for the next month or so.
