Bubble.  Now his Sister.(Twin). She has beautiful hair but just a straight as a arrow. She would like his curls.

Now did you stick with you piano lessons. Not me. My teacher use to rap my fingers to much. Also I wanted to learn the Saxophone not piano.  Sorry now. Can't play anything.

Bubble layla tov
Tomereader I will make note of that. Perhaps next Sunday. Is there a time that is preferable?

Don. Thank you. Enjoyed it all. Doesn't last long enough. Could leave it on all day.

I got interrupted, so only got to hear the second half of the program, but better late than never.  Thanks, Don.

Bubble, I don't know the name of the song, though I'm sure it had one.

Don, whatever time you want to play it.  Perhaps not right at the very beginning of the show, as I could possibly be late in tuning in.

No Jeanne, after 4 or 5y I did not continue, with the war in Africa etc... and now it is probably over 50y I have not been near a piano.

Yes, program  was too short, always is too short. There is Swiss classic though, on the net and that is 24H a day.

JeaneP, my Mom wanted me to learn piano too. I was much more interested in learning guitar because I wanted to play classical guitar. That didn't sit well with my parents. They did buy me a cheap, used acoustic guitar but would not pay for lessons. Some of the strings were too hard for my short fingers to press against the fret without buzzing. Also, I couldn't read music so I listened to my records and tried to find the right chords that way. I eventually gave up.

The first three pieces provide a musical walkabout, followed by a couple of samplings from the ballet. An interesting piece features a  mix of Bach,Scottish baroque and old time fiddling from Cape Breton. There is music by a chess master and a fascinating collaboration between a jazz band and a symphony orchestra, and finally a substantial representation of music inspired by the French revolution.

Don. Again. A few of my Favourites. I will be listening.

We'll see if I can avoid crying during the Poulenc.  I certainly couldn't when I heard it live last year. 

La vita e bella - remembering the film, that too brings tears...

Gosh, I was thinking I was the only one who could cry on movies and last month I even did reading the end of a book.

BarbStAubrey over on Senior Learn posted this website that she is excited about, called Medici TV. Never heard of it.

She also mentioned that Daniil Trifonov is a must listen to, so naturally, I looked him up on YouTube.

Barbara used to be a regular contributor in this forum. I have not heard this pianist but the Chopin is one I play regularly

MarsGal, Barb does not like us any more?   

I am here ready to enjoy the afternoon. My son just called and he is downstairs but he will not stay long. Always stops in every week end. Love those visits.

DON you do play Chopin often and I listen to hi often with some disks I have. I could never get tired of his music.

I too will be here.  I find Chopin relaxing: no need to concentrate to enjoy him

Aviv went home after baby sitting, so I'll be able to listen to my heart content.

Wasn't Chopin's hair styled the same way?

Now I finally know what is the 1st instrument of that concerto!

Hi Gloria, Hi Bubble.
That jazz you're hearing right now is my own cd.  The final hour of the regular jazz show did not run today for some reason.

strike?

DON  this year I finally got to see the Boston Pops, local channel finally carried it. I was very disappointed in it. Not a fraction as good as it used to be and no 1812 overture with the cannons at the end. I am enjoying the Cakewalk.

BUBBLE  glad you can enjoy the whole show today with no disruptions.

Is the Boston Props similar to the Proms in London UK?

I am too Gloria.  I take it your son left?

That Promenade made me feel like taking a stroll on our local promenade in the park!

Was getting ready to leave but then it turned dark and within 15 min. Such a storm. Still going and so I guess I will stay home.
Time to put Don's Sunday concert on. I thought I would have done my running and been back by now.
Sure put the temps down. LIke sleeping better without the A/C on.

Bubble, no strike; just the same thing that happens when I'm away. Fortunately I was able to save part of it.  No similarity between the Boston Pops and the Proms in England
Gloria sometimes the selections the orchestra makes are not to our tastes. I'm sure the selections I make for my show are not pleasing to everyone as well. The next concert you watch will probably be out of this world

Hi JeanneP

Don, I've posted a note to Barb on Senior Learn. I don't see her listed on the members roster, so I wonder if she got lost when the server  died a while back.

MarsGal Barbara hasn't been with us for well over a year, if not more.
