That's true, Ed ... but here in Ontario the transit starts around 1 am tonight and ends just before sunrise. So I'll wake up tomorrow thoroughly "Venused" already, I guess.

My students liked the March just fine ... when I played it for them, that is. As for sightreading, well, the part with five flats made it a bit less than "fun" for most of them. Oh well ....

Here's some pics of Venus as she moves towards the transit. Looks like these are updated minute by minute. Unfortunately the link SRS gave from NASA keeps giving me an Error message - this one seems a bit more user-friendly. Enjoy!
