It happens every time I play regularly: I start well then I hit a wall. Today was bad. Nothing was comfortable. I managed to overblow and make the reed squeal several times. I couldn't remember tunes, I couldn't read music, I couldn't play gracenotes. I was on A and I stuck with it, determined to play through the pain and out the other side, but after 45 minutes it still wasn't happening and dinner was on the horizon. I switched to my practice chanter for a bit, but that wasn't much better.
But I've been here before. I know there's a way out, that it's just a matter of time.
