That means you went "away" for a while.  How could you do that?  I have
a NEED for music that becomes almost insistent if I don't sit down and
listen to some for a while.  There's a big storm predicted for Sunday
in Greater Boston; I think I'll tape a new piece from tonight's Boston
Symphony Orchestra broadcast and play it while I'm waiting for the
gentleman who plows my driveway to show up!  Otherwise, I would have
gone through the whole day without music.  (Original plan: to go to a
play at the Huntington Theater, Boston, but the Mayah says keep cahs off
the road!).
