got back from a BSSB performance. eddie, the older, blind baritone player from the BSSB is going to be filling in with the fremont philharmonic for the fall barbecue shows. i gave him a ride home today, and met his wife who has some sort of neurological problem that causes her hands to curl up to the point where they’re pretty much useless… that could be me….. 8/
