Oh dear, I was counting on the 15th. I didn't see about the 10th. I've been working round the clock on a project that came up and don't know how fast I'll be finished. Before the 10th might happen, but what if I cant make it that soon?

Worry not! You`ll sound like the rest of us . . . .

If I can't get a recording in, then I won't sound like anything. That's what I mean. I blithely thought the date was the 15th. I actually expected to be early until this came up.

keystring, contact your opus leader and check that they could accept the piece after the 10th and still put together their thread.

Some of us are done, done, done....

Yeah, I know ...

I'm kind of feeling under the gun as you are. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to have French Serenade 62/3, From the Early Years 65/1, and Halling 71/5 recorded this weekend.

The two new pieces, Butterfly 43/1 and Brooklet 62/4, however, could really use more work given the short time allowed to work on it. So I'm hoping for some mercy from the respective OPleds .

From what I heard of your playing if your piece, keystring, it is in fine condition, so then the real concern is just when you'd get a chance to record it. I'm sure they'll be able to make an exception for you if need be.

Piano Dad - I'm impressed. Though I wish you hadn't been smug about it. Especially when some of us lesser mortals arerushingaroundlikeheadlesschickens! (word association; SALT. WOUND. RUBBING IN)

"So I'm hoping for some mercy from the respective OPleds wink ."

Consider it done, young lady! 43-1 has to be in the hands of the Chief Whip by the 17th. If you get it to me for the 15th I should be OK . . (Famous last words)

Sent in my third of 3 this morning, so I am done. None of them are without mistakes, so the rest of you stop being such perfectionists...

Schaden : Freude

Disaster : Joy

The two sides of life.

Or did you mean to say Schadenfreude?
(Happiness at others' misfortunes)

Touche!

Why thank you!

Thanks, peterws! You're a good, merciful Opled indeed!

My piece is definitely getting there.

I recorded it for the heck of it last night -I knew it wouldn't be awesome quality, since BillyO was playing his Telecaster through the Marshall, but naturally I got a great take, with just enough buzz to be annoying.

So I tried again a little while ago, and got decent takes - with very loud cicadas buzzing in the background. (Bill measured the sound recently - 80 decibels!)

So hopefully, later tonight, I will get the take I want, if the universe decides to take a nap It's by no means perfect (it's sooo hard to keep the melody loud and the rest quiet), but I'm pretty pleased with what I've done.

Mine's still a right mess pmsl,

Finally finished recording my four contributions this morning. Interesting experience !!

NOW - would someone please "re-post" the instructions for submitting our recordings? I plan to use Windows Movie Maker to create a video for each. I also have a youtube channel. How should I proceed?????

THANKS !!!!!

(And yes - I know we have contact persons for each opus number )

Make a separate video for each piece. Then upload them to your YouTube channel. Then send the separate links to each video to the appropriat Opled.

Also send in a brief blub about each piece to the Opled. It can be what was diffiult, what you learned, anything that you have to say about the experience of learning the piece.

THANKS !!!!!!!

Hello Carey; I just need your Youtube link and accompanying notes you may have on your music!. Send it to me on a "personal message" (Opus 43 6) and I`ll sort it . .
