I had a fantastic mezze plate- lots of lovely homemade hummous, sundried tomatos, asparagus, fresh mozzarella and the like. I normally don\u2019t eat before concerts, but if one must, that\u2019s the perfect food. Also, you can sit outside where it\u2019s lovely and cool.

Chatted with Gemma- she seems pleased. I get on with most soloists, but it\u2019s always a good sign if we feel like we can just say hi and good luck, instead of lots of \u201cgood we just?\u201d and \u201cis it possible here to\u201d\u2019s.

I don\u2019t have a preconcert\u00a0routine- I don\u2019t want to ever be freaking out that I missed my routine, but time allowing, it\u2019s nice to just do some deep breathing and sort of empty myself\u2026. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\">c. 2007 Kenneth Woods <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2007\/06\/23\/saturday-with-the-smp-4\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven PM.
