If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
If anybody's interested, I'm performing in a few concerts this weekend here in Bend. I've gotten roped into playing percussion with the Cascade Chorale on Friday and Saturday night (June 4th and 5th). The concerts are at 7:30 at Bend HS. Ticket Prices are $7 General, $6 Senior, $5 Students, but if you're interested in going, let me know and I'll see if I can get you a ticket for one of the nights. These are the final concerts for Clyde Thompson, who's been the choir director there for several years up there.
Then on Sunday and Monday, I'm playing with the Cascade Winds Symphonic Band. These concerts are going to be a lot of fun. The Sunday concert is at 3:00, Monday concert is at 7:30. Both concerts are free and will be held at Pickney Auditorium at COCC. They'll be a good time, and you will enjoy yourself, I promise.
And you do go, feel free to nab me during intermission and say "hi."

So really, I'm not even a real musician anyway ;-)
