“There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
The rain is over and gone!”
– William Wordsworth, March
Hello Friends,
Can you feel it? The slight warming of air? The crunch of new grass underfoot? Even the raindrops fall in a manner that belies coming Spring! Winter has been good to me, but sun lover that I am, I happily embrace the change in season…though I suspect that the rains aren’t truly over and gone!
February was a busy month. I’ve still not managed to keep up, or even update, my blog at all this year. I intend to take a few hours and finally document some of the exciting, and occasionally mundane, experiences in my musical life. Just don’t ask me when…sigh…
March is promising to keep me a busy bee. Lots of performances for you to come enjoy!
