Oh, I do like oboes.

Hi MarsGal

Chopin on again. Beautiful. I think it is getting me ready to take a nap this time. All seem to have been so soothing today. I have to keep awake for the rest.

Fleisher is a genius.

All favorites today, the oboe, Bizet, Chopin, Murcia.   I just forgot to post here!
But I had a long day and I might fall asleep listening...

Hi Bubble

Bubble. Join me in sleep. My eyes are closing also.  You will be in for the whole night. Sleep well.

DON  a second Chopin, wonderful.  Fleisher is the definition of determination. Thank you for 2 choices of my favorite composer.  Now I look forward to Sheherazade. Every time I hear that I think of the movie in the 1940's about Rimsky-Korsakov.

That's strange; it's running overtime.  I wonder if it started late.

DON  yes the program started almost 10 minutes late.  was beginning to wonder if they weren't going to have your program on. Thank you for 3 hours of wonderful music once again. See you next Sunday.

Thank you Gloria. When I'm not there things tend to get out of hand.  See you next week.

It's an eclectic blend this time around from the sublime (Massenet) to the ridiculous ("Jackie Bear"). Gershwin's Porgy is always a pleasant listening experience, and with the youthful exuberance of the Bizet work combined with the excitement of the Paganini work plus all the others it appears a good show is in store.

DON  looks like a good program today. Just turned the station on and no sound. Hope my speakers have not died on me. OK now I can hear the music while waiting for the best part starting at 1pm.

Hi Gloria. I just loaded one of my own cds to get us going for now. I hope you are getting it.

Hi Gloria, Don

Hi Bubble. Are you getting any sound?

Sure I do.  Piano... and more

I love the way you rrrroll your "r"s:  Rrrrrrrrossini!   

DON  loud and clear.

BUBBLE  I think you like everything Don says. Like you I love the way he says all those names I would not try to say.

Not, Gloria.  There is something he says everyday that I would prefer him to abstain, but... he is stubborn!

Don... that was ONE

  Bubble I neglected to close my microphone

and I missed TWO and THREE.  I won't be able to sleep soundly now lol

I just enjoy that Porgy and Bess.  I had it all on a LP that I bought when I saw it in NY long ago. It's lost now, who knows in what country.

This Beethoven is special.  I don't remember hearing it.  Delightful!

BUBBLE  Don stubborn? Nah, who ever heard of a stubborn Canadian? Not me.

DON  loved the story about Beethoven. Just picturing it ad me laughing.

Bubble it's part of a bigger work and often gets lost when the whole work gets played at one time.
Gloria you are correct; Bubble is portraying an inaccurate image of a very compliant Canadian.

Sorry I'm late.

Hi Marsgal

Hi MarsGal

 I neglected to post the last paragraph when I posted my playlist in which I made the painful announcement that August 20 will mark the last broadcast of Reid's Records. More to follow later

DON  I cannot say anything bad about Canadians. My Dad was born in Canada and on my Mom's side she had relatives in Canada. They did live in Quebec at one time and some of my siblings were born there. My Mom was born in Rhode Island and that is where I live and my children were born here.

I do not like what I read at the end of your last message. Looks like bad news for us. Could be you are going to move?
