So happy that I stopped by to see such a heart warming post. Many, many Blessings to you both! Happy Thanksgiving and many more to come!
Andy, I took three workshops with Rhett at Somerset this last weekend , and I can’t say enough great things about him! Outstanding presentations, every one of them, excellent use of humor, professionalism, content and top notch music!
One of the things he used in one of the workshops was his book of Handel adaptations for lever harp. What a great idea! I’d love an article that contained a list of his arrangements. I can’t wait to start working on them.
Thank you James. I actually remember stereoptic vision, but have not been able to perceive depth since cataract surgery three years ago.
My ophthalmologist had strongly recommended surgery, and referred me to the pediatric surgeon who will be doing the work. She was trained at an internationally recognized clinic, and is held in high esteem by her professional peers. Both my eyes turn in, but my right eye turns in and up, and although I try to look at the strings as little as possible, every shift from strings to printed music requires a conscious shift of what I’m seeing through my trifocal prisms.
Working on the Naderman Sonatas has sort of pushed me over the edge, although all music reading is difficult because all the notes have little shadow notes with them, so it’s hard for me to see whether they’re on lines or spaces. Anything above or below the staff is all but unusable.
Without glasses, I have constant double vision, but oddly enough, most people who know me don’t realize my eyes are crossed at all.
Thanks again……Thank you for your response, Gretchen. Although my son also received vision therapy as a child and responded well to it, my situation is double vision, and it is to the extent that it is no longer possible to have glasses of any kind made to correct it.
I am thoroughly familiar with the most interesting sight you have mentioned!
I use pieces of #12 electrical cable. It’s flexible but lasts a long time. I reuse the same pieces over and over too. No musical reason, just an electrically minded husband.
Angela I don’t do FB so I must have found the link somewhere in one of Dave Woodward’s websites, but I can’t find it now either.
My ringtone is a harp but I’m super compulsive about turning my phone off and on appropriately. The ringtone is one of the standard selections on iPhone 5.
