Christmas list

In the continuing spirit of the holidays I'm going to get a jump on the materialistic side of Christmas and write a Christmas wish list. There's something very gratifying about listing all the things you want.
Here it goes:

- iPod (just a 20 gig 2nd gen is good enough for me)
- Digital camera (how am I going to remember the trip to Germany)
- The orchestra trip paid off
- Pants that fit (mine seem to still be shrinking)
- new rosin
- a new bow (and while we are at it a nice 10K Double Bass wouldn't hurt)
- Sheet music to Meditation Hebraique by Bloch, some Bottesini, and other great bass music
- a few books:
Anything by Brian McLaren
Some poetry compilations especially ones with Robert Frost
Anything C.S. Lewis
Teaching Music Through performance series
Some Good Music Biographies
- a new car
- Some CDs:
More Wynton Marsalis
Double Bass Solo music recordings (Gary Karr etc.)
Beethoven Symphonies
Classic Jazz recordings
- The Coltrane "Blue Train" poster
- a Keilwerth sax
- All of the important band and orchestra instruments (save percussion)


- the good news is I can live without all of this and musch less. But it's fun to dream....
