I guess many places around the state of Washington has had thunderstorms in the last couple days. Back on Whidbey Island, my parents said that they had thunderstorms all around them yesterday. Here in Walla Walla, WA, where I currently am for the weekend for a series of performances, we had a pretty spectacular show of lightning bolts east of town last night. I spent almost the entire intermission of our performance looking out the window, seeing some of the largest bolts of lightning I've ever seen. This morning, I was woken up by loud thunder, and I saw more lightning to the south, which also was large and struck often. No doubt, it was fun to watch and listen to. But I worry about any resulting wildfires. There are already enough wildfires in this country right now.
Yes, like I said, I'm in Walla Walla now, away from my family. I'm performing a summer program with the Walla Walla Symphony, and we perform three times. We played yesterday, then we play tonight and tomorrow afternoon. I'm having a lot of fun with it. After this, it's off to Chelan for another week of playing at the Chelan Bach Fest. Holly was planning on playing this gig, too, but the attention the baby needs from her is too great, and she decided she couldn't do it. You have no idea how bummed out I am.
Take care and value music.
