hello again

Yeah, so, it's been a while.  What's happened in the past twenty days?

Mainly, I skipped off to Montréal (and Ottawa).  On a bus.  With lots of other people.  Such are the joys of band trips.

Highlights: 

• workshop at the University of Montréal, for jazz and band;
  
• guided tour of Montréal;
• performance at École secondaire André-Laurendeau;
• the Biodôme;
• Montréal Symphony Orchestra concert (Brahms' Third Symphony, a Mozart concerto and a commissioned piece);
• tour of the Parliament;
• Museum of Civilization;
• taking 1594 photos and 23 videos.

Selected photos can be seen at these public links:

• Part I
• Part II
• Part III
• Part IV

I started a New Thing before I left for the East - Section 50.  I'm not sure how I'm going to swing it here yet, but it consists of me playing 50 random songs and tweeting what each one is - they are all tagged #section50.  I'm going to figure out a way to post the lists here - maybe just as blog entries, though I'd like a separate page.  

Righto, bye then.

hallo

I hate being sick.

Managed to get over the flu in two days, but post-Big Band (jazz social), I have crashed.  Congested sinuses are EVIL.

That is all.

(Oh, I leave for Montreal in two weeks.  And I theoretically am hosting an acting workshop in one.)
