I've just been away from home for quite a while, in Berlin, Kraków, Kyiv, Warsaw and Paris (with an hour at home on Monday just to dump some things and pick up some others). Rehearsing all day tomorrow, then on Sunday morning off to Venice and Dresden.
My train back from Paris arrived at 21h45, just in time for me to get to the laundry and get things washed and hung up so that they have two nights and a day to dry. I scurried home, changed into my wash-day clothes, flung my dirties into a bag and hurried off to the laundry. Got there at 22h07, just time enough for it to be done before the place closes at 23h00.
Except it's shut today. ANOTHER bloody German public holiday. They have so many. (This one's Tag der deutschen Faulheit or something.) Always EXACTLY when I don't need them.
Grump.

A definite advantage of stage touring is that there's nearly always a wardrobe department (or at least person) and the chance to use a washing machine. Otherwise, it's off to the shops to buy a few more stop-gap items. Rohan clothing definitely makes things easier: most of it can be worn for several days before it even begins to look or smell dirty, and the majority of the range is easy to wash and dries quickly: it also packs down very small. |

Is it practical crit. time? I've just got back from a composers' workshop actually, my brain's in that sort of mood.  So ... well, it seems to be a sort of modern Midsummer Night's Dream overture. I don't quite see the need for notating the clarinets (and horns) at sounding pitch in a score in that style; I don't think people writing tonal music today should do this just because their atonal contemporaries do so. Not sure we really need the piccolo. And I can't imagine how such a simple opening is going to evolve into a piece that really needs three trombones and a harp, but hey, you never know ... Bit expensive though.  Edit: we could do with some dynamics other than mf too! |

Rohan clothing definitely makes things easier  I know not this Rohan Clothing of which you speak. I must ask the friendly and often surprisingly well-informed internet. ...hm, might give these particular ones a miss. |

Rohan clothing is super, for all the reasons Ron gives, plus it's inexpensive and relatively stylish. Or at least not unstylish. It's sort of 'mf' clothing (he said, in one magnificent twist bringing both current topics together). |

I suppose I had better search it out too. It will mean altering a long standing habit of getting stuff from Land's End though. I read somewhere years ago David Attenborough saying that he got all his clothes from the Land's End catalogue so I have been doing the same ever since in the vain hope that I might become a god too. Watch out at future R3OK get-togethers for a sartorial combination of Sir David A, marbleflugel and King Martle. Editor's Note: A long standing habit:  |
