		<description><![CDATA[With the plethora of social interaction possibilities, it seems that blogging has slipped down the priority list, or it could be that I&#8217;m just not that good at keeping up a regular repartee of semi-interesting things to say (or perhaps I&#8217;d rather talk to people than a screen?). I do have a Facebook presence, as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bassoongb.wordpress.com&amp;blog=345904&amp;post=50&amp;subd=bassoongb&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

A few weeks ago I made a small change to my amateur orchestras website which I thought would tidy up a lot of the underlying web links. The site links to a lot of sites [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bassoongb.wordpress.com&amp;blog=345904&amp;post=36&amp;subd=bassoongb&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to remember things I&#8217;ve done. Of course highlights of one&#8217;s life do live in the memory, but sometimes putting them in order or remembering which year they were in is challenging. Luckily, the electronic trail left behind gives plenty of clues. Those old credit card statements that you thought about throwing away (and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bassoongb.wordpress.com&amp;blog=345904&amp;post=29&amp;subd=bassoongb&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Plenty of those love to show them off to friends and colleagues.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I renewed acquaintance with an instrument I used to own, a Moenig low-A contra-bassoon. Why is the &#8220;low-A&#8221; important? Well for one thing it adds 18-20 inches of pipe to the conventional contra, in search of that extra semitone so that you can say &#8220;I can play the lowest note on the piano&#8221;! Actually [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bassoongb.wordpress.com&amp;blog=345904&amp;post=19&amp;subd=bassoongb&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The programmes for the two orchestras I play in regularly look really good this year &#8211; perhaps they always do early in September. At Aylesbury we start with the &#8220;New World&#8221; symphony by Dvorak, with Vaughan Williams&#8217; &#8220;London&#8221; Symphony and Sibelius&#8217; 1st later in the season. Full details here.
