Prodigal

Whew! Last time I was logged on here my computer got all huffy on me and wouldn't let me start up Windows.
My in-house computer maven just sorted it out and I'm back
This seems to be a pattern in my life, to get thrown out of odd places and inanimate objects.
Anyway, here I am again, once again, with little of any great import to say.

The Cello duet is nearing completion, another surprisingly profound work.
I fantasize about getting Walter Gray and Joshua Roman to play it.

Also I'm preparing an orchestral piece for the ACF's Minnesota Orchestra Composers Institute whachacallit.

This piece is a barn burner.
Guaranteed to keep those Minnesota musicians warm during their frosty, clangingly frozen winters.
It's working title is "Minnesota Mittens; how to stay warm in winter"
It is a heart warming, crowd pleasing orchestral frolic.

By golly, if you were to program this one last, your audience would even stay through an evening of twelve tone academia.

Jeremy Denk would love this piece.

You wanna appeal to the "youth market"?

Huh?

Here ya go.

Ticket sales lagging? (SSO only filling 60% these days, but they can't have it, can they?)

You'll be selling out SRO's.

They'll pay to stand in the street outside the hall!

No foolin'

Get 'em while they're hot!

Supplies are limited!!

But wait....there's more!!!

Ummm.........No I guess there's not.
