Wishing and hoping

I’ve managed to miss another year at the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival. Maybe if I practiced more…

Not to jest about such things, but I’d love to be that good. Or on time. Once again, I’m starting vacation after the dates for the various shows; even if we drove like the proverbial wind we wouldn’t have arrived on time. Pity that there isn’t a streaming feed for the rest of us.
