Accordions and other things...

For some reason, I had it in my head that I had an Accordion Works rehearsal this evening. Oh yes, now I remember.... We had a rehearsal scheduled last Sunday that was postponed because of Halloween. No e-mails this week on what we'd be working on, but I still sanded down my fingernails and practiced everything in our repertoire*. I also e-mailed and phoned darn near everyone in the group to make sure there really was going to be a rehearsal. I must be the only person on earth either at home or on the Internet today!

In this day and age of $2.35/gal gasoline, I'd be foolish to embark on a 150 mile round trip without confirmation. Okay, even if gas were way cheaper, that's a long way to drive without knowing! I finally got a call back from our director's S.O. saying he hasn't yet figured out our upcoming rehearsal schedule, but no rehearsal tonight.

So, I'm all practiced up with no place to go!

*Current repertoire:

The Washington Post March
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
La Valse d'Amelie
Fratres
Banana Boat Song (Day-O)
...and several original pieces
