The Reason for my Disappearance

Here's a picture of the concert Saturday night. This is the dress rehearsal. The program was called "Ordo Superman" and included pieces by Stockhausen, Hildegard, Olivera, among others. I didn't read anything for the better part of the week. We had rehearsals Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was the concert. So, I am back now, still haven't read a thing but looking forward to starting again. I decided that reading two books at the same time is not for me. As a result, I will only be reading "Writers on Writing" this week. Photo credit: Miki Satake.

When the Rain Stopped...

I finished "Run Between the Raindrops." The narrator is wounded on the last day of the battle. I think he got a bit careless. At any rate, as I have said before, this is one book I had to finish despite it being so bad. I have a habit of (or a responsibility to) finishing the books I start regardless of how bad they might be. After all, someone wrote them so that others may read them. Whether they are good or bad never entered into the equation.

I am reading "A Reading Diary" by Alberto Mangual. It's a short book about the enjoyment of having a reading list for a year. Since I have been doing reading lists for the last few years, I thought this might be a good read for me.

I am playing in a concert on Saturday, February 3rd (here's the advertising). The pieces are mostly experiemental in nature, so I don't know how much of it will go over well with the audience. Of course I can always make this face to the audience if they don't like what they hear.

I might not be able to blog every day this week. Work has to come first :-)
