I’m playing in a reed trio at the moment, and it has been a complete blast. Picture an ensemble where all reed complaints are immediately understood, where the instruments have similar technical concerns (although I win when it comes to the question of thumb dexterity), and, perhaps most importantly, where we all have a similar [...]

I know I rely onFacebook as a social utility far more than is safe, but still — my pet peeve is when people don’t list their relationship status. I’ve talked to people who don’t list it because they think saying they’re single makes them look desperate, and while I can sort of follow that logic, [...]
