Six years ago, I created, then very sporadically posted to this blog. It was too much. I could only post occasionally, and soon learned that nothing I posted would be taken as intended. (For instance, once I asked all the students to draw a picture of me on a chalk board that I might use as my photo here. I posted them all. There was a lot of "What? Is that what they do? Why is he doing that?" You just can't win, I tell you.) So I let it go unless something really needed to be posted.
And now it's all over.
I am not the music director of Suburban Youth Symphony any more. Enduring Strings is them. After my dismissal I visited the church where they rehearse. I had something quite different from what went down in mind when I walked in. But a look on the first face I saw made me see red. It went sideways in a split second. I lost my temper. That's how I lost Enduring Strings, to boot.
There won't be any posts about the project that this was.
But I probably have some other things to say about this all.
