Ok, I called and left a message just now! Basically like, "hey, it's t, I was wondering if I could get your advice about some stuff about my recital jury next week. I'm kind of confused about some things and it would be great to get your opinion. I also just wanted to say hi and see how you're doing. I hope you're doing awesome! Ok, give me a call when it's a good time for you, it would be great to chat. bye!" Now we... see what happens!!

((WHERE)) thanks so much for your observations. I am going to spend the holidays with my family in virginia, and it is easy to take the bus to NYC to visit my other friends who are there, and also "happen" to be in the town where B lives. So it is sort of a combination. I really like your plan of bringing it up and seeing whether he says anything. I thought of a clever way to mention it... I could just tell him that I"m thinking of meeting with some different NYC cello teachers "when I am in town in December" so he will know that I will be there.

Love to all,
