Lost: sheet music near Capitol Arts Center, Bowling Green
Description
Last Tuesday evening, around 7:45 p.m., I left my sheet music on a chair in the Capitol Arts Center lobby on Main Street after rehearsal with my band in Bowling Green. It's a blue binder with my initials 'EM' on the cover, and the pages are a bit coffee-stained from a long day of practice. I wandered the nearby blocks, checking the backstage area and the café across the street, but I came up empty, so I'm hoping someone found it and kept it safe. Losing it feels personal—these songs are my go-to for the recital next month, and finding them would mean more than relief; it would mean keeping a piece of my music intact.
