(non)Meeting report

People were gallivanting around all over the place, so nobody
wanted to come to a regular meeting. But our devoted fans still
want us to continue to transcribe and proofread music, so 4 of us
got together and read Il
estoit une fillette by Clément
Jannequin.

John Tyson had
specifically asked for that one. He swears it’s because it’s a
particularly good articulation exercise, and not because of the text.

told me by Monday night that they want to come. The meetings are

We had a good time.  We worked up a short program of about half of what we played last year, and in between did duets of various kinds.

We were much closer to the beginning of the route this year, and we were actually at an aid station, so we had a captive audience,  bathrooms, water and food vendors, and they put up a tent for us at the first sign of rain.  The walkers were coming thick and fast when we started at 10:30, but had pretty much stopped when we left a bit after 1.  So it was much less strenuous than usual.
