to the Oboemobile!

I got a new car on Monday. Yea, I probably should have mentioned that I guess. I try to stick to oboe stuff and not get too "personal"on here, but the more that I think about it- the car thing has pretty much everything to do with the oboe.

See, I am one of those "freeway philharmonic" types that (like most musicians in this economy!) have to do a number of different commutes to get to the places that I "work". The main one being the approx. 80 miles that I drive (one way) to get to Las Vegas where I teach and play.

My car is as essential as my oboe. When it finally broke all the way down shortly before Christmas (after many previous attempts), I realized just how CRUCIAL my car is to my life.

My new ride is a 2011 Kia Soul, and so far- so good. My husband said that it isn't totally mine though until I brand it with some type of sticker, I am thinking something oboe related.

To all of my fellow musical freeway warriors out there, safe travels and see you on the road! :)
