Good morning, all! I am testy and very crabby at the moment.
This has been a terrible couple of days. Last night I got an email from the producer of the Herbert songs "reminding" me of meetings this Saturday and Sunday with the conductor of the EILEEN recording, who's flying in from Dublin. We were never notified of the dates for this meeting until last night - this isn't a "reminder," it's an order - and I have spent a lot of time clearing my calendar for these meetings.
The director of the Appalachian piece keeps relying on period recordings and he's driving me a bit mad because he sends things on programs I cannot download or thewy arrive in the wrong form, and I'm quite irritated over his reliance on recordings, especially when it may be a similar riff on the subject but not necessarily on the same tune. So, I've got a file of mp3s from him I cannot download at the moment and these two men are making my life very awkward at the moment.
