Day 5
Last night the compound was
surrounded by a beautiful fog. We celebrated by standing in from of someones room and drinking beer and wine until almost 2am. After some sort of social wind down at the end of the day I have been sleeping like a baby, but naps are out of the question (for the first time ever). I find myself filled with too much nervous energy and I've actually been practicing my own stuff in the evenings. Although this afternoon my shoulder and teeth started to hurt from too much playing so I have banned myself from practicing until further notice. I figure if playing fiddle is making your teeth get loose in your scull it might be time to cut down.
In other news, today was Oriental Friday at the Chuck Wagon (one of the three places we can eat for free). There is even a sign that says that. This spurred five minutes of the ever classy Coal Diggers matching racial slurs to days of the week.
It's 50 degrees and has been raining for 48 hours so the cast hasn't been able to rehearse on the stage at all. Also the band won't be joining the cast until Monday because of the rain situation which is a pain because what we really need to practice is how to put the music to the singers. Basically everyone is grumpy and covered in red mud.

I think if your teeth hurt you should just stop playing your fiddle with your teeth. That seem ineffective anyway.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I wouldn't put it past the director. I like him a lot but he wants a SHOW. if that means teeth-fiddling, then so be it!
DeleteSadly it is just from playing 4-6 hours a day and sight reading.
