Fingers... hurt...

In preparation for Friday's radio gig, I've been practicing quite a bit more than usual. I'd like to be able to do the whole thing completely without music, but for some reason I'm not getting Quanto sia lieto il giorno and Souvent Souspire memorized. Normally I don't have a problem learning foreign-language pieces ("Aishiteta to nageku niwa..."); maybe it's the pressure. On the other hand, I did manage to memorize the two of Guillaume Dufay's Hymni that we're playing, despite their totally unintuitive melodies.

Oh well. It's radio, we don't have to make eye contact with the audience.

In preparation for Friday, I have my streaming audio set up and my radio tuned to the right station - just in case one unexpectedly goes down.
