on the bill with Beethoven 9 10:26pm on 26 Sep 2008 I enjoyed the television coverage last night, though it would have been nice to see the whole concert. I was amused (or should that be encouraged?) to hear Jeremy say that he was worried he'd make a mess of his solo. He needs to play with the Merchant Sinfonia more often. We'd show him that there's nothing to worry about.

With regard to the Proms In The Park broadcast, I watched the Albert Hall gig and taped the red button stuff. It was only when I saw the latter that I realised that the Glasgow audience hadn't been indulging in some rebellious Scottish country dancing to 'Rule Britannia", after all. I will admit to employing the FF feature when the RHCP were playing, as well as for the choirs and much of Maria Friedman. It's a "taste thing", I guess. I always like to hear the "band" without the distraction of singers (and, in this case, the sound of cats being strangled to the beat of an electric bass). I'm sure that the people in the park had a wonderful time, but there's no remote control at such an event. Mind you, it could have been worse. It makes me sick just typing "Sharleen" and "Spiteri".

Scary Mary 3:32pm on 21 Sep 2008 I doubt Ilan would have been able to hear me, as very few notes emanated from my instrument whilst he was in the room. Mind you, that's probably preferable to the squeaks I produced for Yann at the Play It Again day. Perhaps we should start to rehearse the theme tune for Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell Of Fear?

I think I'll go and practice now and, maybe, when I'm next on here, there'll be a note from a sociable trombonist.

Just one cornet(to), or should that be trumpet?

Clarinet on the Town.... 11:45pm on 18 Sep 2008 Testing 123. Is this thing on? Good evening, fellow Merchant Sinfonians, or should that be Sinfoneers? Just testing to see if my new secret identity works.

TTFN

Karen of the clarinets.
