A little progress and a great day for a walk

The past several days have been very satisfying. I didn't finish the hymns CD project but I made reasonable progress. I also spent a lot of time working on new material including Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee," Grieg's "In The Hall of the Mountain King," and "Spring."

Several years ago I learned "Flight of the Bumblebee" on my D600 but it wasn't really feasible to play it up to speed without skipping some of the best parts. I know a couple of other players that play this piece but they also skip certain parts and jazz it up to cover. There's nothing wrong with that, but this song stands on its own as a solo piece when it flies, just like a bumblebee.

The weather forecast is calling for a wet weekend so I decided to get a hike in this afternoon. I posted pictures from today's Signal Point hike on the Photographs page. ¶ 11:13 PM
