the carnival is over...almost

After serveral weeks of my life of recent have been dedicated to concert preparation, I am proud to report that our united efforts have been a great success, finding good reviews in everyone whom I've spoken to, famailiar and stranger alike.
Unfortunately I find myself feeling as if I'm supposed to be doing something in the evenings, and I am still unable to go to sleep before midnight. Oh well, it worth it.
I'm quite proud of a compliment I received on sunday afternoon past from a gentleman and his wife who, both from trinidad, asked if I was from Trinidad because I played and danced as if I were born behind a pan (blush, blush). At moments like that the lost of time, the lack of energy, and the several hours spent at practice (latest being to 4am) were all worth it.
All in all, I'ld have to say that I'ld do it again. This concert season was actually fun and a great success with the newspaper critics, building friendships and ahmmm...increasing tolerance.
Although the end of it is uncertain right now (keep a weathered eye on the sunday horizon) now is time to get back to life outside of pan.
