Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Ice Goblin
This morning everything is covered with snow, and this "ice goblin," from yesterday, which is now only a memory (and an image), has softened.
I should comment on Ben's comment. One arbor day, when he was in the third grade, Ben, who is now 21, came home from school with a tiny 4-inch sapling. He insisted that it needed to be planted right away, so we dug a hole, and planted it. It is currently suffering the growing pains of tree adolescence with its icy (and as of today snowy) burden, but we know it will pull through.
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, a CD reviewer, and as a teacher. I began my professional musical life as a flutist, and spent a lot of quality time as a baroque flutist, but both of those instruments spend their time tucked away in a drawer, while my violin, viola, and my viola d'amore are often tucked under my chin.

Oh no! My tree!
