The other day? At orchestra rehearsal (our motto here at metamorphosism.com: "Putting the hearse back in rehearsal")? This guy? This other grown man who also plays in the orchestra? And has a daughter playing in it as well, like I do? Only he plays bass and his daughter plays cello? And not he plays cello and his daughter harp, like me? He asked me if I wanted to play in a string quartet with him? For grown-up pikers like us? And I was all, yeah, excellent, just not until fall cause this orchestra thing is stressing me out enough already? And he was all like, of course, same here? And I was all like, to myself, excellent, this can mean one of only two things: either my playing is getting better, or the orchestra is drowning me out, either way I don't have to worry about the orchestra concerts coming up in a week or two?
The quartet, of course, will be another story entirely.
