Re: Springtime Recital!
@Kakie Roberts We're all quite excited! It's so much fun to mix vacations and music. Last year we met in DC to attend a concert by Chris O'Riley at the Kennedy Center.

Re: music score software
@Kakie Roberts Thanks a million for the forScore tips, Kakie! And what a gorgeous sonata to have the "glitch" happen. I've played that piece with cello friends, but never in a concert.…
