All requiemed out

Today was the Faure Requiem and I Seek Your Face day, and all went well. It sounded really good from my standpoint. I even botched my solo a bit but recovered swiftly. I got a lot of good feedback about my men's piece. I'm really happy with it. Can't wait to hear the recording of it!

ebay is dangerous I tell you!!

I'm fiddle-futzing around on ebay, something that I haven't done in about three years, and so of course I gravitate to the musical instrument section. There's a cello being bid on for $41. Yes, a two-digit number, forty-one freakin' dollars. The shipping itself is $49.50! That's under $100 for a cello! Even if it is a sub-par instrument, it's a freakin' new cello for under $100 (if the auction were to end today)!! And now I have the list of instruments that I want to acquire before I die:

-Cello
-Bass guitar with amp
-Flugelhorn
-Double horn
-Alto sax

I actually think I'd be reasonably happy with that. Until the next time I go on ebay... curse them all...

EDIT: Blue beginner violin (yes, blue) for $61, which includes insured shipping/handling. *brain melt*
