So it is now midnight, and my plane leaves in 6 and a half hours. I have to confess that my perpetual excitement in the weeks and months leading up to this moment has given way to a fair amount of nerves at this point! I'm basically packed and ready to go, I have multiple copies of the music, I have more strings than I could begin to use in 2 weeks, I have been working on the music all summer...
And I am overcome with the urge to stay up practicing this music until I leave at 4 in the morning. What if this goes wrong? What if I miss that harmonic? What if I'm not taking enough time here? What if it I miss this note? What if, what if, what if... Fortunately, I can see the flaws in this line of thinking! Sleep. SLEEP. It's not just for the weak. Better still get what I can and hope to sleep on the plane. But if I can't, I'll at least be able to finish Dave Mustaine's new autobiography, most of which I read yesterday and which is thoroughly enjoyable.
