Good morning, all! I'm listening to Bach's B-minor Mass and having my breakfast. In about 30 minutes I shall take a walk to the market. I have my second Finale lesson this morning at 11, and I am looking forward to seeing my adopted son Josh who will help me remember the 90% I forgot of the last Finale lesson.
After Josh leaves, I believe I shall proof some of the MOST HAPPY FELLA harp part and move on to the strings. I think tonight, during whatever I watch on tv, I will begin sorting through my tax receipts and prepare myself for next week's tallying, the part I detest the most of the tax prep.
Yesterday in the mail I received a book GREAT GUYS by ML Lake, who was a working composer and orchestrator in the early part of the 20th Century. GREAT GUYS is his biography with interesting comments about colleagues (the "Great Guys"), including Arthur Pryor, John Phillip Souza, George M Cohan, and Victor Herbert. I was hoping that I would learn Mr Lake was the other unidentified orchestrator for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER with Harlod Sanford, but no such luck. I'm back to suspecting it's George Trinkaus.
That's my report.
