Be forewarned. They can switch at any moment.

My kid slept through Haydn's Piano concert and Thaikovsky's Pathetique last
night. I thought that was strange as he usually sits there as mimes the
left hand violin fingering while listening and watching. He woke up this
morning with 102 degree temperature. He went back to bed and missing school
and both private violin lessons today.

He has two teachers?
My daughter is starting to ask me for piano lessons again. This time
she's gonna have to beg me.

Hope Little Stradivari is feeling better.

Mrs. Cremona tells me he is sleeping off the fever right now.

Stradavari gets three private lessons a week right now. Two half hour
lessons from a Suzuki style teacher who is working on his posture, bow hold,
fingering, bowing, etc. She is refining all his basic skills so that he has
great tone and is consistent. He gets one 45 minute lesson (Friday morning
before going to school) from another teacher to work on advanced playing,
solo works and new techniques. The end result is that he made
Co-Concertmaster this week. The next step would be to bump up to the
advanced orchestra with the 8th graders.

I am afraid that I will have to practice very hard to keep him from being a
hundred times better than me. I figure I really only have one more year,
and he will be way past what I can play. Once he fully masters third,
fifth, second and fourth position, I doubt I will be able to keep up with
him. I don't know if I will have enough flexibility to play 6th, 7th, 8th
position. It is different from fretted instruments, in that as you go
higher on the fingerboard, your left arm has to bend in ways that mine does
not want to bend, then you twist your left wrist all the way around, bend
your hand over towards your face, and stretch across the top of the
instrument to reach those HIGH notes.

Somewhere around here I read that young R.F. broke his wrist!!! Ouch!!!
This is not a good thing to have happen in late March, is it? (Not that
a broken wrist is every a good thing.) Sorry to hear the news. :-(

Webby

Visited him this afternoon. He had the X-rays and the radius is
broken very close to the wrist. It isn't out of place and the ulna
is fine. No carpals seem to be damaged. Not much pain, but it
still could be 6-8 weeks to heal. The season is over the first
week in May.

Bad for him, and bad for the team (he was the leading RBI guy).

It is his junior year and not his senior, so it could be a lot
worse (left hand, no surgery, not much pain, elbows, shoulders,
knees, and ankles are OK...and no facial or dental damage!).

Thanks guys. He's tough. They lost a double header today.
The guy batting for Ryan took a called third strike with the
bases loaded and one out in a 1-0 loss. I don't know the
details of the first game (5-2 loss).

The other main RBI man went out a week ago with a torn oblique.
The team is in big trouble now. Hopefully the other guy can get
back in a week or two, and Ryan can get going before the conference
tournament.

If not, well Ban Johnson starts in late May (and we've got to get
his dental school application in by November...any pull in Detroit?).

Steve

Thanks for the update on his condition. Poor kid ... well, I hope the
next couple months pass quickly for him and then he can strengthen up
the arm for next season with plenty of time to spare!!

Ouuuuuuu. Calling Detroit.......

Hoping he'll get in at UMKC, but any place that will cut a year
off, or get things running would be great. If he got in an out
of state school, he would still come back to MO (no future
competition).

Not too proud to beg<G>,
