Rainbows are nice. Don’t forget your umbrella if you go out.
Mendelssohn: Andante and Allegro Brilliante for Piano Four Hands in A, Op. 92
Orion Weiss, piano
Anna Polonsky, piano
Orion and Anna met at the festival a few years ago, and now theyre married. Anna is tiny, and it always surprises me that she can get such a huge sound from the piano. This is a new piece for me, but Mendelssohn tends to be entertaining.
Beethoven: Serenade for Flute, Violin and Viola in D, Op. 25
Lorna McGhee, flute
Ida Levin, violin
David Harding, viola
Lorna is a tiny flutist from Scotland by way of Vancouver, and shes a delight. David is also from Vancouver, so we have a two-thirds Canadian trio for this piece. This is early Beethoven attempting to channel Mozart.
de Falla (arranged by Maréchal): Suite populaire espagnole
Bion Tsang, cello
Inon Barnatan, piano
I heard Inon play at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, and he was impressive. This is a new piece for me.
Ravel: Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in A minor
Augustin Hadelich, violin
Edward Arron, cello
Jeremy Denk, piano
Jeremy is one of Americas great pianists and the single best lecturer on American composer Charles Ives that Ive ever encountered. He views me as an amateur and a pretentious fool, so he doesnt particularly like to talk music with me. But he also treats some of his collaborators as amateurs. Everyone knows that its just his personal style, and theyre used to it. When youre as talented as Jeremy, you have the right to pretty much behave as you want. I found his satirical piece about Sarah Palin at his blog to be offensive, however. This piece is a good example of the modern French style from the Twenties.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Linda are doing well, and your move is too. Any more potted flags?
Did you have sun?
Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))...you would get some rain there. d:o)

I am off for home...with a stop for gas. $4 a gallon on Saturday for the Suburban. I’m hoping Costco is lower tonight.
I'm off for home. Back shortly.
Thanks!
I needed that!
No, just my downstairs neighbor. The flags are still there.
I think Linda likes the new place better than the old one, as i have brought all the rugs over there. She is not amused by the slippery laminate floors now that the rugs are gone!
And it has been VERY sunny! :-)
Hi, Kathy! ((((hugs))))
I hope so. It always seems to miss us, like we’re the hole in the donut. LOL!

Hey there! I was stationed at JBLM (when it was just Fort Lewis) from May of 1985 until I ETSed out of the Army in November 1986. I was part of HHT 3/5th Cavalry, communications section.
Today, my house is about 1 1/2 miles from the eastern edge of JBLM. We see the C-17’s doing their touch-and-go’s and maneuvers, the ocaisional P-3 Orions that the Navy sometimes flies out of there, and we can sometimes hear the weapons fire and occasional artillery fire when the troops practice. Yes...they even do it late at night. Not that I’m complaining...it’s the sound of freedom.
JBLM is my neighbor...and I like it!

Freedom is NOT free....thanks, Mac, for putting it together and ExTexasRedhead for finding it.
....till they ALL come home....
