Friday in Lincoln

The sun is shining and it looks like a glorious day. It's still cool but then again it's not the Bahama's.

Yesterday was exhausting and so I've slept in. Tina arrived safe and sound just in time for the last 4 bars of the recital. Good thing she heard the best part. What an amazing instrument to perform on. A big thanks to JMD for assisting. This performance was most certainly a team effort. Immediately after the recital we dashed off for some lunch and the back 45 mins later to start the afternoon rehearsals and evensong. We then dashed back to the College for dinner and right back to the Cathedral for our first night of recording.

I sure it was difficult for the choir to hear but the the chance to sing in the magnificent Cathedral in reduce light and the stillness of this sacred place is awesome. We accomplished much last night. I'll be listening to the raw tracks this morning to perpare tonight's list.

The local pub that we have over-taken this week has been more than gracious. Of course closing time is 11 pm but since we didn't finish until 11 the innkeeper graciously left the door open for us arriving at 11:20 and served us until midnight. BOY DID WE NEED THAT! Then as it seems to have become a custom, the scotch drinking society returned to the Willis suite to finish off what was ever left in the glass bottle.

It's hard to believe that the week is almost over. We have evensong today and rehearsal along with the final recording session. As foretold, it's gone by like a flash.

Here's a bunch of pictures...
