I’m happy to be part of the East Bay Recorder Society — which had its annual members’ recital today, on St Patrick’s day.

Two special joys for the day:

1. to play with Sue, and our new friend Jack O’Neill (ah… Irish?) a Telemann trio. We rehearsed it hard, meeting maybe five times. Jack has a great love of the rehearsal, which is great for me to appreciate. I tend to love the performance more — but without the rehearsal, where are you in the performance?
2. to play with Glen Shannon and Nancy Grant, a “world premier” — seriously — of Glen’s (that’s Glen Shannon, noted composer for the recorder) new trios– passionate, lively, intricate. I think we pretty close to nailed them!
