Actually, I'm not 100% certain that this is an old mill. The fact that it's right on the water leads me to believe that it was. It is across the river from where
this was shot and across the street from where
this was shot.
I've been really swamped the last couple of weeks and this week in particular. Between concerts, the usual lessons, auditions, recitals, and music library stuff, admissions testing, and all sorts of other stuff. It's been tough to find time to do the photography for the photoblog. Hopefully, after this weekend things will calm down a little bit. (Yeah Right!!!)
Jon has a recital on Friday night where he will perform the Dancla 3rd Air Varie "Norma" on violin which is the same piece he will be playing at the Regional Orchestra Auditions on Saturday. He's ready! I think it will go well since he's well prepared and can play "like an angel singing" as his teacher put it a couple of weeks ago. He was also going to audition for viola as well, but just wasn't quite there with the audition piece for viola. He only started playing the viola last summer. Violas are in higher demand because fewer kids play them than violins so the advantage would be less competition for him. The auditions will be tough. There is a lot of truly amazing talent out there and some extremely accomplished young musicians who will all be vying for spots. Literally hundreds of kids turn out for this and it's not easy. Russell has participated in the past and it was a wonderful if not stressful experience, but the competition for bassoon is a bit less than for violin, simply because there aren't that many bassoonists out there, but the ones there are, are very good.

I feel like my blogging activities are getting rusty rather like this old wrench I spotted on the rusty door of this old rail car some weeks ago. I've been struggling to get things done and I am making headway but there is just not enough time in the day for all my projects right now.
