Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: Backwards practicing
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2014/04/backwards-practicing.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Sunday, April 13, 2014. I have always practiced all my major scales pretty much every day. But this week I started playing from the top going down instead of my usual way, starting at the bottom going up a couple of octaves. Who would've thought this would be complicated any way? Who would've thought I had neglected such an easy thing. I guess there really is no limit to what I can practice. Posted by Jill Cathey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: February 2014

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Sunday, February 9, 2014. The end of things. Finally some of my insanity is ending! The oboe audition is over, and while I didn't win or even get to round two, I'm sort of impressed with myself for getting it together enough to present myself at this crazy point in my life! I played ok, but ok is not the standard at auditions these days- even podunkville 2nd oboe auditions! In the aftermath of the audition, I wonder where I should put my energy, I'd lik...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: May 2013
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Saturday, May 4, 2013. There is something pretty magical about playing a world premier. No audience has ever judged the music, each part is created by the performers around you, with no looming prior performance by John Mack ( or pick your favorite musician) to make THIS first playing of the piece less. Our jazz piano concerto (which our little symphony commissioned! This is amazing since he refuses to wear anything but sweats normally. But even mor...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Monday, March 11, 2013. Hey this is my first blog using the iPhone! I know it's been a long time but at least I can try to keep up if it's on the phone. D had his first band concert, Which was a big event in my life too. As you can see he's playing the bassoon which was certainly not my choice! He loves it and I'm so proud. Looking forward to a little respite from the insanity, the show closes next week and I can't wait! Posted by Jill Cathey. Amahl and...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: How can we be halfway through summer?
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-can-we-be-halfway-through-summer.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. How can we be halfway through summer? Well, the wonderful Fireworks concert was cancelled. Hopefully it will happen again next year, those of us in town (and quite a few had come for the concert) played an impromptu march by the river - I think we had aspirations of a "flashmob" but no one was that orgainized! In just over a week we have our first symphony rehearsal - Opera starts in less than 6 weeks. Excited! And so it begins.

Ann's Travels: Home Again Jiggety-Jig
http://annstravels.blogspot.com/2005/09/home-again-jiggety-jig.html
One car, two women, miles of open highway. Don't think Thelma and Louise; think Lucy and Ethel. Wednesday, September 28, 2005. September 26, 2005. My interpretation of tomorrow from Friday’s entry expanded across the traditional boundaries of the word to reach now, Monday evening. But since I feel that I am still adjusting to being back home again, the window of opportunity for a thoughtful conclusion to the trip remains open. At least that’s my argument.

One car, two women, miles of open highway. Don't think Thelma and Louise; think Lucy and Ethel. Saturday, October 25, 2008. I’m tiptoeing back into the online world. I make no promises about frequency of postings, updates, or any of that. I’m gonna have to relearn how to upload photos. Already had to fuss with gaining access to my postings from three years ago. Posted by Ann Colford @ 9:46 PM. Ann is a writer for the Inlander. Oh, A-Counting We Shall Go. Settling In, Reflecting Back.

I've been getting lots of feline attention since my return home. Here's Henry on Friday evening, trying to make up for his running away from me when I first walked in. Posted by Ann Colford @ 2:16 PM. We need to finish what we started in the way of decorating, girlfriend! Saskatchewan Sky and Pumpkin Pie.
