If you don’t have anything better to do (and, c’mon, be honest ... you don’t) you should come to Cuyamaca College’s Faculty Recital next Thursday, October 22 at 7:30. Tickets are $8 general, $5 students/seniors/reservations. Plus, it comes with the comedic value of watching me fumble my way through Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet for piano and strings. This is one the few pieces of chamber music from a major composer written for the bass; somehow I have made it this far without ever playing it.

Seriously, come.
