Mine and Fluff’s, anyway. I’m thinking about taking her to the opera. The Met has a live broadcast that is carried by some movie theatres - and it’s La Boheme! How cool would this kind of a tradition be?
Via Vodkapundit, the NY Philharmonic performed a first-ever concert last week in Pyongyang. And what a concert it was.
The national anthems of both countries,
Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin,
Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9,
George Gershwin’s American in Paris,
Farandole from Bizet’s L’Arlésienne,
Suite Number Two, Movement IV,
Bernstein’s Candide Overture, and
Arirang, an old Korean folk song.
and the Girl Scouts, too. Check out the Cactus Cuties.

I’m back. Thanks for your thoughts. No email, no cell phone, no work. AAaaaaahhhhh. Wife and kids stayed behind for a couple more weeks. Lovely vacation.
Here’s a nice distraction for you while I get my … act together.

Yeah, I know that not everyone has the same passion for this music, but really - how cool would this be to play?
Link is here.

A good way to start a Sunday, methinks.
Sigh…sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t….link for the video is here.

One of these days I’ll get around to figuring out how to embed a YouTube video - most of the time it doesn’t work, for some reason. More likely is that John will get fed up with my complaining about it and show me what I’m doing wrong
I was trying to post this, […]

I keep Giveaway of the Day on my RSS Reader (so should you). Every day there is a new free software giveaway. For me, it’s usually software that is redundant or that I wouldn’t normally use. Today is one of those giveaways that is HUGE.
Even if you already use DVD authoring and mastering software, StarBurnShark […]

Digging around looking for brass quintet music, I found this. Gorgeous. The best thing Ennio Morriconne ever wrote, in my opinion.

Boy, ain’t it. I’m feeling it, too. I played the Messiah twice over the weekend - once for Gateway High School (the symphony provided some “support,” meaning we gave them an orchestra to back up their 200-voice combined choir) and another for the LDS church in Castle Rock, CO. That one is always enjoyable because […]

I give up trying to embed this. Go here and watch it - you’ll be glad you did.

You’ll be a better person today for listening to this.

Fine. Here’s a post.
Back to back concerts in subsequent weeks. I’m crazy busy the 2 weeks before a concert anyway but when they get packed in tight like that it’s exponentially worse. All went well - got to play extremes of classical music. One week was all chamber music, where I played a delicate piccolo […]
