Tim wiped some more blood from his wound and I thought, Ok there's development. And then I realized Oh that's not part of the piece. Once again bravo on a good concert.

I think you should consider wearing a headband with a perky bow for all performances. BTW - you were a real trooper to finish the concert. Awesome look for you, Tim!

Not the usual injury in chamber music where the worst is usually a broken string. Hope you are OK.

And the show must go on ... yes? I have seen blood dripping out of an oboe (when a player had cut his lip), and I did bleed all over a key once (when I sliced a finger). Guess that's show biz. Bravo for the humor. Bravo for the willingness to entertain us with the story. Now repair. :-) I feel guilty for laughing, but at least I’m admitting my behavior.

Hope it heals OK and leaves you only with a special place in music legend. Buster Keaton could not have bettered your hilarious and heroic performance Tim.

Make sure to walk with a limp.

It also didn't help that there was red marking tape on the stage. You never plan for these situations but get through them in the best way you can--well done all 6 of you! Lisa's handywork reminded me of Willards "Spirit of 76" painting...foreshadowing perhaps??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sprit_of_%2776.2.jpeg "Damnit Tim, I'm a piano player not a doctor!"
