It’s 3:45 am and I can’t sleep. Darn. another one of those oboe-insomnia things Patty and I suffer from.
I had a good practice today (or rather yesterday), and discovered in my own playing that I believe I need to bring the angle of my oboe down toward me more. It adds a bit more cover, and makes my upper notes sit up, an issue that was stated on my jury sheets on my Strauss. I’m excited about this new discovery and look forward to testing it out more, but I definitely felt some new muscles!
Almost caught up with reed orders again. I made some big reed discoveries recently which has added more stability and depth in the sound of my reeds. Very exciting indeed.
Obohemia has some ridiculously funny reed art. I had to look at them carefully to even recognize them as reed paraphernalia

How do you get your iron? I know you don’t eat red meat.

You can get iron from a whole lotta things, actually. Beans are good. Some veggies. But right now I’m taking an iron supplement because of the anemia. (And NO, my anemia isn’t about not eating red meat. Something else is going on in this old body!)

Ah ... yes indeed, I’m often suggesting that students bring the oboe in closer. I really keep my oboe right near my knees when I am sitting. For me the tone is much less strident then.
AND ... drum roll please ... I’m now sleeping so well it’s nearly disgusting! It all had to do, I think, with my anemia. Hey, Cooper, maybe you are low on iron ..??
