Please, fellow CPD23-ers - it's proving hard to find out who tweets. Please do put a Twitter link or give your Twitter handle, then your fellow Tweeps can keep up with you! (I'm @karenmca, by the way.)

Looking at other blogs, I've spotted my friend Yi-Wen, and also (I th-i-n-k) Annabel? Though she's going incognito at the moment! It's interesting to see what pictures people are posting. Beautiful landscapes are popular, as are library-themed backgrounds. Suddenly I realise that I haven't got ANYTHING remotely interesting on mine. A mouse, oh yes, but that's not exactly original. Let's see ... ah, that's better. I bought these baroque recorders so I could play Highland tunes when I lecture on Scottish music. (The oboe doesn't sound right in this context. I've never learned how to play the tin whistle with all the ornamentation that a trad musician instinctively does. The piano sounds so staid. So a pair of handsome recorders is just fine - at least they sound nice!)
Lovely recorders! I always think they sound beautiful, especially the larger ones.
ReplyDeleteI have descant and treble. There's a problem about the tenor size - quite apart from the cost, my little finger doesn't reach the lowest note; I'd have to try a keyed instrument!
ReplyDeleteThese are new acquisitions, incidentally. I couldn't stand and talk about early 19th century song collectors, then play a plastic school recorder - too inauthentic!
