Nota bene:

If I don't get back to you (respond, favorite your post, whatever) within a reasonable amount of time and you're expecting a response, it means one of the following:

1. I've simply chosen not to respond. (rude but intentional, less likely)
2. My internet is out. (not likely)
3. I've been called away. (less likely)
4. I've suddenly fallen asleep. (more likely)

Number 4 happens due to the medicines I'm on. I apologize in advance for it, as well as for numbers 2 and 3.

Time to get back to work, this time on an arrangement of a Beethoven piano sonata for a woodwind quartet. This has already gone through a lot of tweaking, but I've changed my style in the months since I last picked it up, so I'm probably going to have a lot more tweaking to do.

Oh, well...here we go.

For any of you following me in my quest to get my music ready for publication, I've just finished slugging it out with one of my earlier works. "Woodwind Quintet No. 1" gave me a hell of a fist fight. I had to rebalance the MP3 demo file, redo the reverb settings, adjust the panning of the ensemble, and enable file numbering on three of the parts (I don't know how it got disabled in the first place). My eyes hurt now. Taking a short break before moving on.

Here's the Mixed Wind septet:

Making good progress on getting the music ready for submitting to the publisher when the window of opportunity opens up on May 1st. My wife is going to have to do the submitting for me, since I'm going to be in the hospital, recovering from knee surgery the day before.

I've got one French Horn sextet, one conventional brass sextet, one woodwind quintet, and one mixed wind septet ready so far. I think I've only got a few more to go.

I'm going to take a break and have some grits for breakfast.

I'm starting to pick up a little bit. Trying to push myself some, and it's working. I've got a task I have to begin today which I should have begun yesterday (getting music ready for submission to a publisher), and I can't put it off any further. Everything's got to be wrapped up by Sunday at the absolute latest, and I'd really rather not be working on it through the weekend.

Thanks for the greetings, folks. I've got some more fluids inside me, and I've taken my emergency backup morphine (ran out of my primary Dilaudid last night, waiting for my wife to go get the refill this morning). I'm letting it kick in. It'll take a while.

Good morning, CoSo. I'm not feeling so good right now. Got a bad headache, and I'm just moving extremely slow. Sorry if I don't keep up with my greetings like I did yesterday.

Yay! My wife is home.

Oh, lord, there's a *next* layer???

@LnzyHou I'm sorry, and I don't mean to offend, but I'd rather see the results of a double-blind scientific study than the movement of SKUs. Who's to account for the placebo effect in those SKUs sold? Please don't take this personally, but I just want to see some scientific proof before I start taking it.

Good morning, @Smccune55 !
