I’m so excited! I made Victorian-inspired pockets attached to a waistband (w velcro). Women’s pockets in the 1800s could accommodate everything from gin flasks, telescopes, to botanical maps and sewing accessories‼️
I made my pockets comically large to make a point, so, it fits everything I need - my phone, charging cable, wallet, comb, hand sanitizer, a tiny notebook, and my e-reader. If this sticks, it will be a game changer 👜🚫
Thinking once again how cool it would be to own and learn the cobza😅realistically I have never been good with plucked instruments, just ask the dust-covered mandolin case under my bed. doesn't stop me from lurking in Cobza fb groups and dreaming.
(0/54) Ever think, “Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ is such a fantastic song. I should find and listen to many, many different versions of it!”?
No? Well … a few weeks ago, I did just that. I started a project of sorts which involved spending hours finding all manner of covers of Creep by Radiohead, so you don't have to!
Go ahead and listen to all of them, and let me know what you think of them…

Travelling to orchestra rehearsal with my Brompton bicycle and violin in Sydney! The Brompton fits behind all train seats and nearly all bus seats in Sydney, and the Bam Submarine Hoodie keeps the rain off the hard case.
If you have recommendations for compact practice music stands that might fit in a Brompton Metro Backpack please let me know - my current folding stand sticks out the end!
The padded Bam backpack straps are very secure - and absorb any minor vibration that my wheels, suspension block, seat and body hasn’t absorbed.
Keen to hear about the commuting setups of musicians on bicycles around the world!
#HilaryHahn's performance of #SamuelBarber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14 (along with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Hugh Wolff) just reminds you why she is Hilary Hahn. Brilliant. #violin#violinist
