Just to round out the weekend...I played my PM church gig last night. Things went pretty well except for a bad mic cable that I had to switch out on the fly.
I bought a box of clarinet reeds this week, and swapping them out for my old reeds made a big difference in sound (and thus performance). Funny how that works. One thing that didn't work so well was my upper lip for flute playing--what was up with that? My flute sounded fine, but my upper lip felt weird--like I couldn't grip the air. I felt like I had Mr. Bill's mouth.
Big week of gigs ahead, so stay tuned.
