Writing out parts was extremely tedious and tiring.
I developed a callous on my finger where my pencil rested. I spent countless hours copying the parts for musicians to be able to perform my compositions. When I was in college, music arranging and orchestration were among the many subjects I studied for my music degree. How fortunate I was to have experienced the transition from the telephone cord era to the digital age.
Later on, the words kept coming back to me. Needless to say, it was a high school friend that shared the post below. I don’t check Facebook that frequently (as it can be habit forming), but it is a wonderful way to stay in touch with my high school friends.
