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.

@Dashdrum Thanks for liking Bohemian Galop and Interweave! You haven't heard much from me in the way of wind instrument works because I haven't done that much since I got on a computer in the 90s. I'm better known for doing game music since then (https://leejackson1.bandcamp.com). I'm just now trying to resurrect my wind music skills from prior to the 90s and get things going again. 😅

Here's the Mixed Wind septet:

Done with breakfast...Thanks for being interested in my music project! A couple of the items I mentioned are up on YouTube. Give me a second and I'll post links to them.

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.

@MrGoat I'm trying to feel better, but I can't rest up too much. Got too much music work to do. My wife is trying to help by making a rice cooker full of grits for us. I'm looking forward to its completion.

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.

@Mandypar Good morning, Mandy!

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.

@Beanc I'm doing semi-okay, thanks. No surgery today - that's not until Tuesday morning of next week.

Yay! My wife is home.

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

@LnzyHou No need to defend, I'm only relaying what my own doctor has said, plus my own opinion of the product is. It's not intended as a personal attack at all.

@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.

I've had my magnesium levels checked, and they're regularly OK.

@VelvetDuchess @LnzyHou Thank you, VelvetDuchess! I can use all the kind words and wishes I can get. I really appreciate yours. 😀
