Dvorak

OMG! I canNOT believe I am going to participate in this! I'm about to slaughter a Dvorak symphony. The worst part is, there's not much I can do about it!

I think this calls for a little explanation of my situation...looky here:
  • I live in a town called Idaho Falls--population: 50,730 (50,731 if you count me having moved here after the 2000 census)
  • My stand partner's name is Lynette--I think she's 100 years old

That's about all the Xplanation I feel like giving.

One of my old violin teachers used to have a note on her door as I entered her studio. It said, "Practice makes Perfect" Maybe you've even read that saying before. I'm here to testify to you, that it is NOT true--especially in the case of Dvorak's 7th symphony. Simply NOT true.
And this one untruth, coupled with my lack of desire to be perfect, will lead me and my fellow musicians to slaughter Dvorak.

But DAMN, we're gonna have fun doing it!
