Good morning, all! I slept very late and I clearly needed the sleep. Yesterday we had a good - but short - session, which began with the very wonderful and very funny Rose Sullivan, who recorded three German lieder and did some fixes from her last session. Valerian Ruminski was running late, so we recorded the remainder of the piano solo "La coquette," which didn't go well on Monday morning because the hall was so chilly the pianist's hands were too cold to cooperate. Valerian arrived and we did his two Big Numbers. We had recorded five of his solos on Wednesday, but he wanted to hold the hge ones till today. Since our coloratura soprano is suffering from strep throat, she's off the schedule until November 7, so our day was over.
Today, I may have to make a run to the NYPL for some Herbert research as well as a look at Appalachian Mountain song collections. I want to be on top of this meeting tomorrow.
More coffee!
