Easter Prep

Yesterday, I worked, then rehearsed with the bell choir at church. This being Easter week, there's a lot of music to spiff up. For us, as it happens, "spiff up" means "learn to play in the most minimally acceptable fashion." Still, it's a lot of fun (and much harder than it looks (especially when you, like me, have to play several bells with lots of accidentals (in one Good Friday piece, I have to play 8 different bells, sometimes very quickly or together))). I'd rather be singing, of course, but since I can't sing any more, this (almost) suffices. At least it is making music (assuming you define "learning to play in the most minimally acceptable fashion" as "making music").
