Brea street fair

Last night I played with two others in a street fair, of sorts, called Musician's Playground, in Brea, CA. The main attraction was the O.C. Wind Symphony, but for some reason our little trio got two out of nine pictures in the online local newspaper article: http://www.ocregister.com/news/night-259610-brea-free.html

Because of an intrusive canopy pole, the newspaper photographer opted to photograph us separately, but we were a trio playing together (at least trying to stay together despite the street noise and distractions):





I don't know if you can tell, but the hammer dulcimer player has very severe arthritis. He copes amazingly well. Where there's a will... What a guy! Good for him!

So now a still shot of my form is out in the open. I remember when that shot was taken. I was trying to blast out on that low D. I know, I know, Emily would say there's too much left hand pronation. I'm bad, I'm still resisting. I wonder if my bow hold passes the Emily test. Emily, are you out there?
