a trumpet you can blow and a book of rules

[freckles_and_doubt]

The "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" (From A Tribute to Zdenko B. Fibich), Arranged By Accident, is a fairly hoary old musical joke that Dayle has just pointed out is available here, which is good, as I've mislaid my copy. Do scroll down a bit to the second page, which is even more insane. Do not, however, wave in front of budding musicians of a nervous disposition unless you have brandy on tap.

Have been offered the admin post. It occurs to me I may use some of the resulting actual money to resume piano lessons.

Congratulations (I think?)

Whoo-hoo! From the sounds of your money talk, you've also accepted the admin post?

Not officially. I'm trying to work up the courage to wander over to the faculty office and formally accept it. I figure one more Bowie album and two more cups of tea should do it.

Yes, congratulations.
May it be the best possible move in the best of all possible worlds.

It's not even close to the best possible move, but it has ... a certain utility. It'll be good for me in a lot of ways, and will enable me to line myself up to do what I actually want to do. When I work out what that is.

Also, welcome to LJ! v. glad to see you joining us.

*hugs*, tea - and all sorts of other things you may need when the universe springs an admin post on you.

Still... money... curriculum advice... you like these things.

"Like a Dirigible"

For some reason, that's the one that got me giggling. But it's all good.

Woo yay! Congratulations!

Salaries buy yarn. And are therefore Good.

Oh boy, P D Q Bach on speed! Not to mention on manuscript paper.

More money sounds useful. If the hassle quotient isn't too high.

Congrats on being offered the post! Good luck with it, here's to it being the stepping stone you need for now.
