Caroline- today

Jun 20, 2009 00:29

I played duets with Caroline today. I was so nervous. When we were tuning, my hands were shaking. But once we started playing, it was so much fun. I like playing with Caroline because it's a workout to keep up with her. She wasn't playing her best today, because she hasn't had time to practice much. It was less of "omg panic" and more of a "hey, this is really fun." I'd like to think that I've gotten better at college, and today helped me feel that way. I'm aware that when she's at her best, Caroline can leave me in the dust. There's no question of that. But today, I felt that we were more of equals. I messed up more than she did, but that's life.

I feel like she's grown up a lot. She's a little more... collected than she was her freshman year. I feel like she can "take" a little more, you know what I mean? What worries me is that I might have caused some of that. But that's a story for another time.

I was so scared to play with her today. I haven't done this sort of thing with her since maya, senior year (yes, the song is supposed to be lower case). That was so stressful. She could double-tongue much better than I. My double-tonguing is so much better now that I've had a year of school under my belt. I'd like to play maya with Etryesse or maybe one of the incoming freshmen. I can't wait to meet them.

If you will excuse me, there are 52 more Youtube videos posted by an artist I really like that I have not yet seen.
