hi Bubble, Hi Gloria, Hi MarsGal

DON  rock the park  and your comment would make me stay miles away from it. That is noise and not the kind of music we enjoy.

Gloria the stage is literally below my window.  The only escape is to leave  town which is what I am doing.  So next week's show will be a rerun.

   Actually, I should give your escape two thumbs up, Don.

DON  do not blame you. You would not enjoy one note of that noise.

MARSGAL  add my 2 thumbs up, too.

Here are another two thumbs

Sarasate is beautiful!

BUBBLE  I enjoyed that one, too.

I wonder why they are called Nocturnes.

BUBBLE  whatever it is called I love all Chopin's music.

This section of the Organ Symphony always give me a thrill.

MarsGal I get the same reaction

Ahhhh the Capriccio ...  That one grips me always anew

I guess PatH is not able to join us again this week. She was in the middle of a move cross-country (to Portland, I think) a week or so back.

We would dearly love to see PatH again; it's been months since we have seen herr.  Likewise JoanK

JoanK has been rather sparse on SeniorLearn too. PatH has been taking so many trips west that it was inevitable she would end up moving there. She was back and forth more than usual this year, first looking for a place and then getting it set up for her needs and desires. I imagine she still has some unpacking to do and other sundry things associated with a big move. Now she will be much closer to her family and won't need to travel such distances to see them.

The Dying Poet - so moving.  I didn't remember that.
And I will depart soon. The Handel is not one of my favorites, so layla tov and Thanks for those enchanting three hours.

DON  thank you once again for an enjoying 3hours.

Don, you had wonderful selections in your program yesterday (of course that is normal).  I particularly liked the Organ Symphony and the piece by the Mexican composer.  Enjoy your time away from home. 

Larry I appreciate your kind comments.

BUBBLE  thanks for posting Don's list for today. I always copy it so I can follow.

DON  enjoy your time away from home.

Listening and relaxing

DON  like you I listening and relaxing and enjoying. I Like the sound of the harp.

Hi Gloria.

I am on. relaxing and listening. It is 90 deg out and going to be the same all week.  Awful summer we are having.
Hope you are someplace cool Don. Enjoying the day off. Great to have Bubble as you Assistant now. She did good.. Are you making any of the dishes she taught you to make?

Hi JeanneP.  Yes I have found her kitchen hints to be very helpful.

Just listening to Maria Callas. One of my favourite to be in Carmen. I think I have now seen that Opera 8 times. Mostly in UK.
Now this week on one day the Movie of Carmen will be on for one show only .They do a Metropolitan Opera Summer Encore of Carmen. Every year.Last over 3 hours. It will have Elina Garanca as Carmen. They have the big lounge seats and I will just take a snack. Sit back in the A/C. ( have to take a jacket). they keep the shows so cold. Perfect way to spend the day.

DON  you know I enjoyed the selection by Chopin most of all so far and I have enjoyed all your choices.

JEANNE P  we got lucky today, mid 80's and lower humidity. Nice without the noise of the AC to spoil Don's program.
