I took my very sad flute to the flute doctor today. Drew has a holiday piano recital on December 8th and Brian and I have been asked to play a couple Christmas-type pieces at intermission (while everyone gets up and helps themselves to cookies and punch.) So a couple weeks ago I pulled out the flute I haven't played for-anyone-else-to-hear since 1992 and Brian started brushing up on his mad holiday piano skillz. Holiday music can be tricky on the piano, but it's super easy on a flute keeping the melody, unless your flute is in terrible disrepair like mine and then it can get kind of screechy. So, today I took it into the local music repair shop...
RSG: "Yep, yep I can adjust this up for you and recork the top."
Me: "Great! When can I get it back though, I need to play at a holiday thing."
RSG: "Yeah, If you've got a gig you'll want to practice. I can get it back to you by Friday."
Yeah, man, I've got a GIG! A "gig"! Hee hee hee. Thank you repair-shop-guy for giving me the gift of feeling like a rock star today. I needed that.

That's awesome! I was planning on brushing up on my christmas classics but sliced my finger pretty badly with a vegetable peeler so my main fretting finger has been out of commission for two weeks.
