I have to give a talk in the second week of August, which will include four days of travel, so I’m hoping to get my piece recorded before I leave. Although I’ll be back before the 15th, I’ll probably miss five days of piano and I would rather record before that beak than after. But the piece itself isn’t ready…. -_-

@navindra do you have access to a piano right now?

rsl12

Whew, I can check this off my to-do list (thanks Sophia!!).

Looking forward to it, as I missed the last one!

Sophia

Same here, I’m happy to say that I can submit the piece of my choice 😋

KevinM

Like @ShiroKuro I've been feeling close to overwhelmed with how many piano pieces I have on my plate, so I really wanted to get what I planned for this recital done so I can put more focus elsewhere.

I have done it, I have a submission ready, it is a bit rough around the edges but it is good enough so I must now tell myself to stay away so I can now focus on other things. If I didn't feel like I have too much other stuff to work on I would continue to try and improve. But it is good to feel it is done.

ShiroKuro

KevinM I have done it, I have a submission ready

Good for you!! I'm hoping to have mine ready to go soon, we'll see...

navindra

ShiroKuro I have this one:

#68

However, it's competing with another music project I have planned and with this:

I'll probably wait till I get back to the US before I record anything.

Simonb

Since, I think, this can be anything I'll try and get something in for this recital.

Cheers

ShiroKuro

navindra I have this one

Nice! Well the piano and the bike I mean!

How long are you there for?

ShiroKuro

Simonb this can be anything

Yes, it can!

Simonb

Not quite the same and a bit off topic but I've just bought this:

Cheers

Simonb

Recording done!

Cheers

KevinM

Simonb That looks like a sexy beast Simon.

ShiroKuro

Simonb nice! Congratulations!

Almost as exciting as a new piano! 😉

Simonb

Hi KevinM

It's a Royal Enfield Super Meteor (650).
Been a biker for a long time, but have had a little time without one for financial reasons.

Haven't actually got it yet, but the deals done.

Cheers

Simonb

Hi ShiroKuro

For me just as exciting, though it won't get as much use as my Piano!

Cheers

ShiroKuro

Simonb For me just as exciting, though it won't get as much use as my Piano!

I was just teasing! 🙂

KevinM

Simonb I know nothing about motorbikes, but honestly it looks like style on wheels.

navindra

Simonb Wow! That's something else! Congratulations! 🏍️

navindra

ShiroKuro How long are you there for?

Not long enough! I'll be back around the first week of August... hopefully after a more few rides along the coast.

ShiroKuro
