		<description><![CDATA[I have not disappeared just very busy at work. We have been making a fantastic new performance space, appointing staff, preparing for inspection and all the usual things, plus I am coaching a cheerleading team towards the National Championships. Too little time to blog, or to do anything much outside work worth blogging about. Apart [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been experimenting with a Zoom H2 digital recorder. We have a major need to record students playing and singing at school and at the moment are using all sorts of things from full-blown cubase through various digital recorders and CD recorders. None of these are ideal. We need simplicity but also high quality. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can see, the blog now records the &#8220;tweets&#8221; I have made on twitter during the previous week. Almost all the tweets I make are automated &#8211; itunes &#8220;tweets&#8221; every time I play something. I wondered if there was a pattern and there is. Quite a lot of what I listen to is for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I ordered a whole lot of reeds and experimented like mad. Very quickly, I fell in love with Rico plasticovers &#8211; about half a grade &#8220;softer&#8221; than I was using. What a difference something so subtle makes. The plasticovers are &#8220;ready to go&#8221; straight away and you cannot really get the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The alto sax was (a kind of) 50th birthday present to myself but I have bought a tenor sax as sheer self-indulgence! Actually, it could have been worse. The beast in question is a Walstein tenor sax from woodwind and brass. It is gorgeous with a deep, rosy phosphor-bronze body and brass keywork and sound [...]]]></description>
