This year's chamber music class is working on the Brandenburg 4 -- the one with the recorders. Hubby heard wind of this and decided to join. He bought a plastic
Aulos alto 700 recorder and started practicing in December. He hasn't played since he was a teen but after a few fits over some high notes he was off and running. This week, a real cellist showed up (one who has been playing for many years) and since he was such a strong player, I was moved off
. The class also had a guest professional violinist play the first part and the group sounded really good -- without me.
