Officially declaring a concentration at university (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes, it does help to concentrate on your work whilst at university (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) - but, now that you've decided to concentrate on university, make sure that you don't overdo it and that you also take time for yourself, friends and viola/piano.

Nope. Not this particular thing. I do actually know how to use one, my dad taught me, though I don't own one myself.
I do. I bought it on eBay, and subsequently found a Teach Yourself Slide Rule book of a similar vintage to go with it.
But best of all, I recently found a (free) slide rule app for my iPad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Of course one had to be wary of premature approximation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)


Just had the one and only rehearsal with the choir I've been asked to dep in on Sunday for the services at Bangor Cathedral (I can't do the Saturday Evensong as I'm auditioning for an orchestra (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) )

One humungous pile of music we went through including Macmillan and Matthias. I'll post a list when I'm a little less (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Seeing what was a rather large pile of unsorted scores turn into a rather large pile of tidy, sorted scores (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just a few stray bits and pieces to sort through now.............

I still have my book of Log Tables from school, complete with sines and cosines, tangents and cotangents, reciprocals and so forth. I wonder how many school-age children would know what to do with them nowadays? Our daughter (14) reckons the book must have been written in stone, or at least on parchment to have been at school with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Enjoy Bangor. What Matthias are you playing? SB Junior is playing some Matthias pieces for his A2 Music Performance exam next week, and I must say I have rather grown to like them.

There's an article about me in the local paper today. I was quite scared of the reaction it might get, but I've been inundated with messages of support all day. I'm so glad I agreed to tell them my little story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Enjoy Bangor. What Matthias are you playing? SB Junior is playing some Matthias pieces for his A2 Music Performance exam next week, and I must say I have rather grown to like them.

Sorry for delay in replying on this - mad week.

Bangor music:

Eucharist: Darke in E
Motet: Ave Verum Corpus - William Matthias

Evensong responses: Reading in A - Sharpe
Canticles: Brewer in D
Anthem: The Lamb has come for us - James MacMillan

There'll be 20 of us. I can't do the Saturday Evensong.

I'll post when I know what the voluntaries are (probably not unil Sunday!).
