Lots of rain, lots of work

 There's been a lot of rain lately and I've been busy too. Lots of work. 

Through all this, I'm trying to practice and the half-note downward bends (thank you, Adam Rapa!) and the breathing exercises (thank you, Herbert L. Clarke!) I think have been having a good effect. I feel now like high C is starting to not just be a note I can reach but one that's routine. 

I have not been putting in the hours of practice I should, though. If I'm going to go out and busk for two hours, I need to practice for that long and I haven't been. That's what it will take to solidify my new advances in technique. 

One thing I can do is busk in one place for an hour and then take a bus or bike or train ride to somewhere else, and busk there for an hour. Thus getting in two hours but not doing a 2-hour session. 

It's all kind of academic as it's not busking season yet and it's still too cold and rainy and windy to be really busker-friendly.
