Hey Gloria, did you see?   2 Chopin for you to enjoy! 

BUBBLE  just got here and checking Don's picks for today. I did see 2 by Chopin and many others I will enjoy. Better get things done here so I can sit back and enjoy.

DON  thanks for including 2 from Chopin.

Hi Gloria Hi Bubble

I am here... all ears!

I am already enjoying the march. I  visualize settings of music and I can see a military parade with this one. With some march music I imagine a huge ballroom and the grand march.

I love that Spanish music - very intense!

Bubble that was to stimulate your Spanish roots 

BUBBLE  I am enjoying the Spanish music. too. Reminds me of when one of my nephews played Spanish music on his guitar and his brother played the piano along with him.

DON  not long ago I saw on youtube a young girl playing the harp. She looked like she could hardly reach the further strings. She was good.

Gloria as beautiful as it sounds I don't see a great future for harpists

DON  I agree with you. It would not fit in with the music popular these days.  The sound of a harp to me is beautiful.

Oh that haunting tune from Rigoletto! Strangely enough it was in my sub conscience 2 nights ago, in the dream that I could not remember afterward.

DON loved the Chopin. Always enjoy his music. Love the piano anyway but there is something about his music I can always recognize. How I look forward to your second one by him.

Looks like Bubble and I are the only one commenting today.

Where was Fleischer born?  What a story!  How did he lose the ability to use his right hand?

Quite a story about Fleisher, the right hand carries the hardest part of any piano composition, the melody.

The music stopped, and I don't seem able to get it again!!!
Gloria, can you still hear it?

I dropped out for a bit, but now I am back.  I am, but the station stream dropped. It just says it can't find any playable stations. Huh?

exactly the same as for me!
Hopefully Don will be able to fix it...

It appears the cyber transmission has been compromised.  The transmission is fine through regular radio

In the meantime, I just tried my local PBS station through TuneIn. It works. The program moderator said they would be talking about Gertrude Bell - eventually. The program sucks! Probably designed to attract the younger set. Don't think can stand to wait for that. Hope you are back up soon Don.

It's back now

I thought my speakers died. Darn we are missing some good music Don has scheduled. Everything just stopped and now it is much too quiet.

Hurray!  My favorite bit too, the very end. I just love the drawn out violin at the end.

Still nothing here.

Gloria, did you try getting completely out of the program and than back in again?

Gloria you may have to click on the link again as if you were logging in.
Hi MarsGal

DON  that is what I just did. I shut the station off and clicked on and now I hear Sheherazade.
