What are you working on?

I have almost all of Ravel's work's but not the Piano Concerto, sorry. I would have e-mailed it to you otherwise.

All in all, it's a magnificent piece. Plenty of Youtube Video's on it.

Thank's for the thought. With the other 2 pieces to work on I have my plate fairly full for now. I haven't played too many Piano Concertos that were as tough to work through as the standard orchestra rep pieces. Either way, I will have a month or so to work on it. By then, I should have a pretty good handle on the other 2 pieces and have time to work on the 3rd without too much worry. Hopefully..

Dave, that project of yours sounds pretty good... love the wind arrangements. Tell me if you're going over here for a show! Good cover bands are becoming quite the rage here, P-Floyd setting up The Wall in one of the major scenes, set in a magnificient old quarry, for instance.

Myself, I'm getting my teeth into Swiss bureaucracy. There's a lot of it, I realised. Just got some insurances needed. You also HAVE to have a computer to stay there. Which I do have, but you get an idea of the amount of papers I have to sign and send in, and many are in German...
Today is also the day that I'll send my old broken bow for the pieces to be put back together. And, I just ordered a new gigbag - from Nils Palm, the Swede that showed up here a while ago - which is at least of moderate quality, but still not too thick to fit inside my flight case, or so I hope.

The string and horn charts were done by a Nashville based arranger named John Hinchey - he's quite good.

Apparently some European promoters are willing to book Rewiring Genesis - but with a 12 piece band (plus crew, transportation, etc.) it will be a pretty expensive proposition. We'd love to play there, though!
