thanks to some clarity today, i'm nearly 100% better...but looking forward to my NYC trip also helps tremendously...basically i now know i have no control over this situation and have decided to let it go. thanks to my many friends who helped me...we'll see how real this is, i'm about to go to sleep WITHOUT a sleeping aid (i've never used one in my life actually)...wish me luck...tofufest tomorrow!
oh, i also played probably the ABSOLUTE funnest concert of my career tonight with
Pacific Symphony Orchestra tonight (24. July 2004)...we performed celtic fiddle music with
Eileen Ivers...it was a last minute call to play with them and i'm so sorry i wasn't able to invite everyone to come listen...i can't even begin to tell you guys just how incredible this musician is and how she moved the audience...i can only try by saying she's the equivalent of yo-yo ma on the celtic violin...the NY times calls her the "jimi hendrix of violin"!!!! crazy! i am pretty sure the music tonight really helped my mood too...but mostly it's just the realization of the "truth"...
