Sooo.. did anyone else get in trouble yesterday because you forgot it was mothers day?

Nope.
But then again, my B/D lands smack on the same day every so often (and therefore gets overshadowed by it), so I'm generally aware of when it rolls around.

Those are some nasty key signatures, that's for sure. As for the piece in C-Sharp, it would have been easier to play it in D-flat, don't you think?

Oddly, that one was a "bit" easier then the others as it was simply a matter of: every note you see - play it sharp. With the 5 and 6 flat keys, you had to remember the specifics.

Makes me want to pull out my old trombone and re-learn how to play it again just so I can do pit work.

That's the horn my young'en majored on (quite good at it too). Y'all are the only folks other then the flutes that are actually playing in the key the chart is written in (and the only horn on the stage that should never be out of tune). They're usually holding down the counter melody so the parts or often very interesting. I enjoyed the times when there wasn't a specific part for the low reeds and we were reading their ques instead. Yeah, you ought to brush up on it as another way to be involved if there isn't a part that suites you at the time.

Man, they don’t call you Stats for nothing!

I didn't forget her... I just forgot it was a special holiday... you know....
And I am planning to go visit her next weekend, so I kinda... overlooked it.

I always find it sad when children get written out of their parents’ wills …

Oh, well happy birthday.

Well, I don't know how that converts in Canada. The metric system always throws me off.

Sometimes it does that to me too. We converted to metric only after I got used to imperial.

I measure in inches, feet and yards. But drive in kilometres. I have no idea how many kilograms I weigh but know I weigh (too many) pounds. A coke bottle is around 500ml… but no idea how many ounces. I use tsp and tbsp and cups… and almost never ml.

I just realized I’m illiterate in two weights and measurements systems…

Good afternoon, men. I'm about 2 months out from our WDW trip. Doing a split stay at BWV and BLT (7/20-7/27). I miss our Fall trips. FL in Nov vs FL in July/Aug is VERY different. I'm trying to NOT wish away summer but I can't wait for our trip to get here. Doing a week long trip after doing a few 10 day trips. That surplus of covid points ran out after a couple 2BR villas for 10 days!

As far as my weight goes, I try to set the scale in kg but read it as though it's in pounds.

Yes. Is later in the year.

I got this stuff all figured out.

Brilliant strategy.

Nope, just wanted to let you know, you still got it, bro!
