Good morning, all! I slept in an extra hour because I needed it. At 10:30 I meet Bruce Pomahac at Penn Station for our trip to Philadelphia, so I will be E&T until my return tonight, hopefully around 9 pm. I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Pomahac, my other favorite Bruce, and we always have a good time when we travel together. I'll catch up on all of his gossip and tell him about the Finian Expereince, which I am enjoying immensely. The concert today is an operetta one, so he and I will have a great time. I'm taking him a recording by Trude Rittman's composition teacher from the Cologne Conservatory, and I'm sure we will talk about her today as well. God bless her soul. She was a beautiful lady I still miss.
Today, my September rent check cleared. Finally! It only took two weeks from dropping it into the post box to the landlord's cashing it. I'm happy to know it finally arrived, but now I've got this damned health insurance premium to worry about since so funds have arrived yet to cover it. Perhaps in today's mail.
Tomorrow, I've got to fret over a couple of fixes in the Finian scores: I've got one dance piece that begins well, ends gloriously, and falls apart completely for two measures in the middle. I still havent figured out if it's me or the players, who've been having a bit of intonation problems, but I think its me, so I have to adjust it to make myself and everyone happy. I've also got a fix to make in the Entr'Acte, but this one was a collaborative error!
