  • Women Cantors' Network
    FALL 2011 Women Cantors’ Network Robin Anne Joseph, President Gail F. Nalven, Editor From the President’s Pockets “If you’re not hitting some wrong notes, you’re probably not playing hard enough.” ~John Coltrane, jazz saxophonist I play hard. As is evident from the sprain and fracture I sustained on my left foot due to a poorly played ground ball in a softball game just mere days after the WCN Conference this year. I don’t always injure myself when I play ball, but I play not worrying about whether I will. I think about this as we approach another New Year. Have I hit some wrong notes? Have I been playing hard enough? It’s interesting to think that the two might be intertwined"that giving it my all may not necessarily result in the “right notes”, but rather some other unintentioned sound. And that these “wrong notes” might just be the outcome that indicates that we’re living our lives to the fullest. My rabbi has told a story about a time when he facetiously told his piano tuner that he didn’t have to tune the whole piano, only whatever notes were needed to play the four songs from Les Miserables that he knows. The tuner responded, “No, I’ll need to tune all of them, because when you play those four songs, you may hit some wrong notes.” We may hit some wrong notes this year, yet they may have been by-products of all the right notes that we have tried so hard to play.
