Well, you can always ignore the cellist if s/he
gets off.

He... and he's pretty good... He'll probably do fine... and I expect him
to just play along without any issues, even if we only have a run-thru

Despite the jokes about the lower strings,
they're most often the equal of the treble
musicians. When I had my gigging quartet, the
first-call cellist was arguably the best
performer of the lot, and the second-call
cellist was arguably the second best performer
of the lot, and the third-call was arguably
the third-best (she taught at Hartt).

rehearsal with him... Lydie and I've gone through it a couple times
now, and worked on it a little... still hope for a good rehearsal before
the day of.... :)

Did you mention what the piece was? If so I apologize
for forgetting; wasn't it something for recorder and
discontinuo (not my joke; Peter Schickele's I think).

In some ways the existence of such connections
would be comforting; in others it would be
unbelievably creepy.

Indeed.

... I'm not worthless. I can serve as a bad example

We all can, some of the time.

True... I found I have another similar one in my files.... see below...
... If you can't be a good example be a horrible warning!

Beating up on oneself can be okay if it's not too
brutal.

You had good cellists to pick from, then... :)

I don't think I specifically named it... It's Greensleeves to a round,
by Anon. (XVII cent).... :) for descant/soprano recorder and
continuo... I think you're right, there's at least one P.D.Q. Bach piece
for something and discontinuo.... ;) Hopefully we'll be more continuo
than dis... ;) The show is tomorrow (Saturday) at 1 pm... we're
meeting for a practice at 11:30 up at church, first time with Eliot... I
think we'll do creditably... :)

There's to be a wide variety of different talents displayed... Lydia and
I saw the program when we went up to church to practice tonight... they
were laid out already.... :)

Actually, I try not to beat up on myself... usually.... (G)
