The playford was fine. I honked on my oboe for about an hour until I was so dried out I could barely play. About that time Morwen and her SO showed up and she carried the rest of the band. It took me a bit to realize why I was playing fine and then couldn't keep my reed wet to save my life. It's like a desert in that hotel. But in the end, there was like 2 fiddlers, 3 recorders, me on oboe/recorder, Maug on guitar, and another TLFer on tamborine and the occasional psalter. The worst part was this one tune that was like AAAA 24Bs. I kid you not. Susan just cued us for the last B section to repeat back to the As.
I was too dry to play oboe for the Regency and knew I wasn't going to get all the notes on recorder so I bailed. I think they had plenty of musicians tho' and Morwen was playing. I was also completely zonked. I don't know if it was the dehydration or hiking yesterday but I just gave up and went home.
So things went fine. Thanks for sending me the music. My power came home at 11pm so I only had time this AM to print it out and dash out the door. I'll practice it up for next year and be able to switch back and forth a bit so I won't have to rely on the oboe so much.
