a sunny day

Sitting waiting for pupils to arrive, catching up with email, sending a recorded guitar part to somebody I'm playing some flute and guitar duets together with -who I have never met. Strange times.

Last night: gathering at Quinn's for dangermonkey's birthday, which was a good celebration. I was converted to Catholicism -er, no, only to German Catholic beer -yum.. They went on to the Slaab to carry on partying but that wasn't really an option for me. Althuogh my 10:00 am pupil still hasn't turned up at 10:32 am.... hm...

Later today: more lessons, then MacExpo and dinner with the u.c.s.m. lot after the Expo at an Ethiopian restaurant in Sheperds Bush, then probably Fright Club.

Ah, and Happy Birthday, cython and kaerasta! The latter is having such a hard time of late, travelling all across Russia, Mongolia, China and the Far East, sending us an amazing photographic trail of her travails...

Is that the beer with a monk on it? I always seem to be sent to ask for it after a few drinks, and have real trouble saying it's long name!

I don't think it is that one... iti does have a very long name -in very small lettering, but the main name is the acronym of that long name, KLJB I think

I have a Stravinsky piece for flute & guitar, odd combination - I did not realise there was quite so much repertoire for it! (I'm a flautist)

It's probably a transcription, I don't think he wrote anything for guitar except for including a guitar part in -I can't remember, one of his orchestral pieces, maybe the Symphony of Psalms.

Would like to see it, though.

You're quite right, I had not noticed, quite disappointed now! It's 4 pieces adapted from various piano works. Quite sweet & simple, only heard it once with guitar.

Hey, send me a copy and let's play it together?

[nimstar.livejournal.com]

Done :-)

Send me your address to Naamah_dust@yahoo.com & I'll post over a copy. They are very short & sweetbut would be nice to hear them played properly anyway!

Thanks! Not much 'net connection in the jungles of Malaysia, but I'll try to upload some more photos soon! :)
