News of the week of July 9

Not directly Cantabile news, but my mother died on June 20, which has
affected Cantabile communications somewhat.

Meeting report, June 25, 2013

This was as close to not having a meeting (when one was scheduled) as
we’ve come for several years. I’m told there were some recorder duets
before I got there, but one of the recorder players had turned into a
pumpkin at 9, so when I got there at 9:15, Ishmael, who had opened up
on time, was packing up. We considered playing some more duets, but
we both had early days the next morning, and I still had both writing
and printing to do before my mother’s funeral the next morning, so we
split a beer and called it a night. This doesn’t happen very often,
and I don’t expect it to happen again for another few years.
