Sorry I’m so late. Fotki has hijacked all my favorite graphics so I have to change EVERYTHING! Takes some time! LOL!

[mylife]

Probably pretty useless.

Aloha Doc!

Few pains are worse than travel problems.....and they all seem to come together, don't they?

Look for a remedy with your coworkers who live in the area.

Splish Splash, I was taking a bath.

I’ve just spent the last four hours watching a DVD of the Metropolitan Opera’s 1986 production of Wagner’s “Lohengrin”. Wagner is hard-core, and he’s not for wussies.

Tonight is opening night for the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Winter Fetsival. It’s available live via online streaming at KING-FM. The concert begins at 7:30 PM Pacific time (10:30 PM Eastern). Here is tonight’s lineup.

Beethoven: Duet for Viola and Cello in E-flat, “Eyeglass”

Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, viola
Julie Albers, cello

The Beethoven duets are not quite as good as the Mozart duets, but this is a charmer.

Schubert: Fantasy for Violin and Piano in C, D. 934

James Ehnes, violin
Max Levinson, piano

Schubert’s late works are amazing, except for one or two misfires. This is one of them. At the first two performances, people started walking out halfway through. The piece sprawls, and Schubert takes too long to get to the point. If anyone can make this turkey fly, it’s James Ehnes.

Now that Itzhak Perlman has semi-retired to a teaching position at Julliard, Jimmy Ehnes has become one of the world’s greatest violinists, and he’s only 36 years old! Jimmy is also the new Artistic Director of the society, replacing cellist Toby Saks who retired after 30 years at the helm. I count Jimmy and his wife Kate as my friends. I drove 400 miles back and forth to Macon on a Sunday afternoon in December to hear the Ehnes String Quartet play at Mercer University.

Dvorak: Quartet for Piano and Strings in E-flat, Op. 87

Jeewon Park, piano
Emily Daggett Smith, violin
Toby Appel, viola
Jeremy Turner, cello

Do not miss this piece! It’s a crowd pleaser, barn burner and warhorse of the chamber repertory. All four movements are gems, and the finale is a killer! It’s one of Tony Dvorak’s best pieces.

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

A little sun for the past couple days but not nearly enough to take the chill away from the breezes.

Tried to say Hi! last night but some things on the boards weren't working....let's see how tonight goes.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – an early call awaits me in the morning! No weekends at Castle MacNessa!

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hey, Luv.

((HUGS))

Got my eyes on the Canteen and my ears on the concert. The Internet is an amazing thing.

[luvie]

It is! I just read your post, and am wishing I could take the time to listen, but it’s hard to multitask two kinds of music. LOL!

Enjoy your concert! :)
