So you’re probably wondering why your mystery guest-blogger was in Chicago. Actually, you’re probably wondering why your guest-blogger writes so damn much, but Lynsey knows I have a history with verbosity, and she still let me do this. Ha ha! Anyway, I was in Chicago because I was participating in a conducting workshop in the school of music at a major research university in the area. For your enjoyment, here are some of the best quotes I heard over the week…
“No, we’re not that old… but thank you for planting the seeds of doubt.”
“Don’t be so Republican.”
“Let’s find a real damn loud spot.”
“Don’t know what to do? Do a damn hairpin. I don’t want the music sounding like Omaha!”
“You can’t head for your destination if you’ve got too much taco sauce going.”
“Let’s pick another spot that you can feel bad about yourself.”
“It’s like sex. You can’t be thinking, now my left leg is going to do this…”
