Way Overdue

Happy Vacation!
I have so much to say.  I haven't wrote a blog in almost 3 weeks.  I know it's really bad.  The senior project is going pretty well. I have already played viola, cello, and 2nd violin.  I have met new friends in each section of both String and Freshman Orchestra.  But, I need to learn bass.  When I return to school I am going to learn bass.  Because, my last audition is this Thursday and I won't have to worry about ruining my hand position.  Halleujah!  Right now I am listening to youtube videos.  Despite how much bad music there is out there.  There are a lot of good youtube videos.  I can't say that there aren't a lot of great soloists that don't influence me to practice.  Like these, check out my favorite videos.
