Good one, Chuck!! She knows I stay on top of e-mail; and she sent one early Friday AM that she was very sick and would have to "bag" the Saturday rehearsal. Neither of us knew that my computer crapped out sometime after Thursday night. So I went to Portland on Saturday -- couldn't find her. ?????
Sunday, I was to pick her up at 2:00 to meet our session at Maine Sound Stage, Recording Studio. I left her a voice mail Saturday night that I'd pick her up on my automobile return from Concord, NH Airport. Whereas I left home at 5:30am Sunday to get my ferry pilot, I had no way of hearing her 9:35am message that whatever she had been prescribed left her in no condition to tickle the Steinway Concert Grand at the recording studio.
It'll all come out in the wash; we'll just record the CD in one session, instead of the two which had been planned. When I got my computer back, after one week, there was much e-mail house cleaning to do; and hers were there.
