Joshua Bell did seem like a very laid back, personable man, but then I've met alot of musicians, both in the orchestra and soloists, and most of them were very sociable and generous with their time. It was those opera singers...prima donnas, the lot of them...and they were only in the chorus! I was never in the rarified air of the actual primas: too much risk of germs, I suppose--and when your voice is your livlihood, fair enough. My association was peripheral as well: one sister was in the conservatorium of music; the director of the conservatorium was in a paranormal group that I belonged to; and my other sister was going out with the 2nd violinist of the city orchestra (and what a handsome devil he was, too! Not to mention lazy: he could have been the leader, but he was having too much fun in his social life to practice...jeesh!). So I met quite a few people at all different levels of their art, including, believe it or not, one 18 yr old pianist who was brilliant and could have been a concert pianist...but he wanted to fly commercial airplanes so poof, off he went. Go figure!

I don't even know what an extra crafting slot is yet... Sigh. I am stuck on Haunted Lights: so far it takes me about 5 days of TT to solve one .... puzzle, but the one I'm on is driving me nuts. Yes, I should stop and do something else for awhile... I will, promise. Unfortunately, what I often do when that happens is go back to SSHM! I'll be back to SN tonight.

Bye for now. -- Chloe/RedViolin
