Egmont, Fidelio, Vodka and Frostbite

Khachaturian's "Bell." also makes me feel not-so-bad about my latest orchestral piece.
I like loud noisy pieces and it's good to know other guys can get away with it.

But It's coming along,
My ex-cello concerto.
Lively and entertaining.
Has a nice beat, you can dance to it.
If you've got an odd number of legs.
Anyway it was a nice concert that the Seattle Philharmonic gave yesterday.
Besides the Khachaturian's "Bell", they played Beethoven's "Egmont" overture and incidental music.
Incidental music sounds a bit odd out of the context of the play, but it's Beethoven so you've got to like it whether you like it or not.

And I do.

I'm going to go downstairs and replace the rear wheel on Fidelio now.
I've got one that has a chain fence on it to keep the chain from jumping and ruining another wheel.
Also, I think the axle is stronger.
The old one is hollow and appears to be bent.
The rear gears have been wobbling for a while.
Which may have some bearing on the chain jumping problem.
Seems to be a strange thing to happen to a bicycle axle.
It also has a wimpy little bolt holding it on.

Gonna fix all that.

See ya on the trail, pilgrim.
