I can explain. I woke up this morning thinking about my son in college, wondering what he was doing and what I was doing 25 years ago in November of my freshman year. Somehow this memory came to me: practicing for Madrigals. My college used to put on several nights of Christmas Madrigal Dinners for the community, and for a couple of years I was in the roaming recorder ensemble. That's a bass recorder I'm holding, not a hookah pipe.
All I can say, when I look back on this, is what a strange thing for me to have done. I wasn't in the music or theatre departments. I didn't get paid. I think the singers/performers mainly ignored the roaming musicians, so we were just like serfs. Well, modern-day college serfs, anyway.
That's all I can say. This falls under the "what was I thinking?" category of my life. I bet you have a few of those, too.

Ha! i remember steve campbell, tom hundly and i were servers. i think we maybe did get paid a very small sum. we also made sure we wore our trenchcoats so we could stuff as many candles and other sorts of things in as extra payment for all of that hard work. just love how we justified that!
ReplyDeleteI was a server and also helped with set-up. I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to get my plum pudding to catch fire when we were to make it flame (and I recall that it tasted horrible). I always liked the Christmas vacation money, although I will not say it was the most enjoyable work I have ever done :).
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a dress! You must have done it for the wardrobe ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love the dress! :-) You'll have to share your musical skills with us one day soon. I never even knew they made a bass recorder. hehehe
