Remembering the correct baroque recorder fingerings and trying to sight read musical notation proved a bit much, so I've taken a pencil to the page and made things slightly easier for myself. Once I get these fingerings (and how they change across the octave) in my head I shall get back to learning to read music. There's only so far I can push my foggy brain before it topples over and goes to sleep facedown in the mud.

Now that I'm reasonably comfortable jotting down brief ukulele phrases, I have of course started something else for which I don't have a quick shorthand, largely because I have not yet learned how to finger each note. There is bound to be an easier way than doodling simplified recorders to show me what to play, but it works for now.

In the unlikely event that you find yourself needing virtual instrument files of baroque and renaissance recorders, to use with software like Garageband, I finally found a library of free downloads. Follow the link, then click on the Community Edition:

There are WAV and .SFZ format files. Seems like every program out there has flutes, whistles, oboes and even Cor Anglais, but recorders are weirdly rare.

When he dared peek, Bo was alone in the basement.
Rumpled on the floor, like a wetsuit, was Hugo's skin and clothes. He toed the heap then jumped back.
Hugo was gone.
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the mini #recorder.
He forgot to hit record.
Even if he waited the remaining twenty-something minutes, the FBI weren't coming. Yet another bluff.
Defeated, he balled up what remained of Hugo to dispose of it.
If only he could find that damned notebook. It'd mean tenure. 5/5
