Meeting Minutes - Sunday Sep. 10th
Attendees: Victor, Glenn, David, Mary-Beth
Location: South Boston
When we arrived, the free Beginner's Circle was finishing up a little late. Took a while to get them out and us set up. Discussion about the gig last Friday, the need for a dedicated sound person, what the circle should be doing, what's getting in the way (key point: negative emotions in everyday life and their effect on our playing). Observation how many pieces start out pretty well, then fall apart midway through, in contrast to how we used to play them (though Eye of the Needle still tends to start weaker and end stronger). Worked on the Bach invention for about an hour. Was much rustier than at the performance. Didn't have any mistake-free run-throughs, but improvement as we went along. Eye of the Needle, Third Relation (almost made it through intro without any open strings), and an aborted Bicycling to Afghanistan. Discussion about the possibility of a 6-day intensive retreat for "just us" followed by a series of performances next year (end of summer, or maybe earlier). A lobster walks into a bar joke.
