During the rehearsal a group of students from the school sat in to listen and take pictures, so I invited them up afterwards to try a bell. They LOVED it. I'm going to have volunteers from the audience participate tonight random ringing. We'll see how that goes.
I don't remember why I'm laughing so hard in this picture, but it was taken by one of the students while we were rehearsing. Dorian says that I laugh all the time anyway, so maybe it's just a natural shot.The life and times of Danny Lyons. This is mainly so my family can keep up with me and see pictures as I put them up.

Final rehearsal
Sasha and I had a rehearsal this afternoon -- our last one before the concert tonight, and because the master class session before me ran long we only had time to go straight through each piece. We both said that if we had one more day or maybe even one more rehearsal that we could really come together as a duo, but we're very close now, and I think everything will be just fine for tonight.
