"Swimming" measures 89-92

The problem with measures 89-92 of "Swimming Down the Stars" seems to be that the instruments that are holding the four-measure long note aren't sure when to cut it off. I'll solve that problem by giving a cut-off gesture on the downbeat of measure 93.

I don't think arguing about conducting technique is a good use of rehearsal time. If you have an issue with my conducting, please talk to me before the rehearsal starts or after it ends.

Rocky Rococo

Creekside Gables: 7601 Zane Ave in Brooklyn Park.
Rocky Rococo: 7540 Brooklyn Blvd, less than a half mile away.
I'll be eating pizza and bread sticks at Rocky's before the gig, arriving 5:15 or so. Any Rocky's-craving MMO members are welcome to join me there.

Another MMO related blog

Hello everyone - I wrote another blog post that mentions the MMO and our concert tonight. I wrote the post on Saturday but didn't get around to posting it here on MMO until just now. I decided I'd better practice a few concert songs last night instead of spending more time on the computer.

Here's a link if you would like to read it:

Also a friend of mine is selling his Hohner A style mandolin along with gig bag. It's in almost new condition and he's asking $175 for it - or make him an offer.

Here's his contact information:

952-210-7793 (cell)

And here's a picture of the mandolin.

See most of you at the concert tonight and at rehearsal tomorrow!
