(please tell me that I will not get hits on this web site from people looking for underwear. Ahem.)
Ma. requested a practice CD of the 5/4 Cumparsita, so on Friday, I picked up L. after my last violin lesson and we made the 45-minute drive to Mi.'s house, where we spent several hours recording the version of Cumparsita in 5/4. It was great to keep doing takes of it, since we just kept getting tighter and tighter as a group.
After we were done, I was sitting on the couch noodling around on my solo version of Air on the G String and talking to L., not realizing that Mi. had turned the mic on and was recording. Here's the result. It's fun to listen to it, despite the intonation bloopers. At the beginning, I'm asking L. whether she'd just eaten something sugary. Nope, she was just happy to be hanging out playing beautiful music. As was I.
