Hiya. I’ve been listening to your recordings and just thought I’d let you know I think they’re brilliant. They’re all really nice arrangements and the playing is great. My favourite is probably “When The Boat Comes In” which Claire and Louise played. I like the tune. Also good to hear the Leo Brouwer piece - he writes great stuff.

Well done everybody - they sound really good.
You have all obviously worked hard - what great talent we have at MGS

My lord how technology’s changed at my wee old school in the last decade! Keep following your music guys, I may be working in a music shop to make ends meet but this wee Musselburgh musician bred through the Grammar’s played at Glastonbury Festival, Notting Hill Carnival, the World Cup Final in Berlin (music not football!) and Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro amongst others…it is possible!!

As I couldn’t make the concert it is great to hear the pieces the guitars performed.
As ever I never fail to be impressed by the hard work put in by everyone. Delightful

PS Whatever happened to Barry Manilow!!!!
Comment by David Parker — June 23, 2008 @ 10:50 pm
Thanks for your kind comments, David. As for Mr Manilow, he is thriving & still gigging ( http://www.manilow.com/ ). If the Wikipedia entry is accurate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Manilow ) he has recently celebrated his 65th birthday. Clearly the pay is better in teaching as most people seem to retire at 60

Hi Alan - I’ve just stumbled across your blog and have been listening to some of your students play. Congrats all round for some fantastic performances - I know how much effort goes into producing results like that. I’m looking forward to checking out some of your other posts.
ps very flattered to spot a couple of West Coasts there too.

Hi Alan,
Now I have a new Sony vaio computer and the time to make the most of your blog. Thank the kids when you see them for their lovely music. Especially nice to hear Stephen.
But they are all good in their own way…love the girls laughing as I am a bit depressed as I could not go to Poland yesterday for the blliked holiday as I had a sudden bout of gastric flue/food poisoning.
thank again. and Happy New Year.

Hey Mr C.
Got a bit of a dilemma. I’ve been chosen for a maths competition at Meadowbank on Thursday for all day, the same day of the rehearsals. Don’t know what to do! Do you want me to be at the rehearsals? If you could let me know what you think as soon as possible.
Thanks
Hayley

Hayley
First of all, congratulations on the correct spelling of dilemma :-)and thanks for the early waring. Don’t worry - just go along to the Maths competition - and good luck with it. You’ve worked hard on the concert parts and know what you’re doing. You’ll be fine on the night. See you at the concert.
Comment by Alan Coady — June 14, 2009 @ 11:06 am
Great. Thanks very much!
See you then!
