Hi Gloria, here I am as well.  But here tonight is dreadfully hot 86F when sun has already set.
The windows are open, but no breeze

Hi Gloria Hi Bubble

MMmm... the little one does not like this piece: he asked why is the woman  crying/shouting? what is she mad at?
I sent him back home to bed.  It could give him nightmares!!! lol

Sorry, a little late.

Hi MarsGal

Okay, now I have Charles Boyer in my head.

What inspired thoughts of Charles Boyer?

Shostakovich:  Tahiti Trot

Think Tea for Two.

I see after Valse Triste is Copeland's Fanfare. One of my best friend's favorites is the Fanfare for the Common Man

MarsGal the Fanfare and also the opening to Thus Spake Zarathustra are the most stirring fanfares you'll ever hear.

Sorry I did not reply Bubble and Don. I was laying on the couch and if the phone didn't ring I might have fallen asleep.

BUBBLE  today is the best day we have had in a week or so. First time in  that time I have not had the air conditioner running.  It is down to 80° and the humidity dropped to a comfortable level. How in the world can you sleep with it that hot at night? I still prefer winter to summer except for the bulky coats to keep warm when going out.

That grand canyon makes me nervous! Never been to a site like that...

DON  after being at the Grand Canyon and seeing the burrows and people riding down that trail that GC choice brought it to mind. Only way I would think of going down would be by walking. Fascinating place.

BUBBLE  the GC is quite a place and I enjoyed seeing it. The way the sun changes the colors from purple shadows to red at different times of the day. My daughter, SIL and 2 grandsons and I walked a long way around the south rim. That was back in the 1980's before the Native Americans thought of that glass bottom platform going out over an area. That I would never set foot on.

Just turning on. Nice out and windows all open but so much dust coming in. A/C off. Just can't win for loosing.
Oh! Charles Boyer. Just hearing him speak turn me on.. Not seen one of his movies in a long time. going to have to search. (Not been turned on for awhile) I have always gone for voices.

Bubble even thinking about it gives me the shakes.
Gloria that must be a terrifying ride.  Certainly not for me.

Hello Jeanne

DON  I would not trust any animal to take me safely down that trail. Not very wide. I would not trust any animal to carry me down and even walking I would stay as far from the edge as possible. Do not care for heights.

DON  another wonderful Sunday afternoon. Will miss you next week.

Gloria, no program next week, so a big rest for Don and maybe just tune in on Radio Swiss Classic.  They are always reliable for good programming.

Remember? no program on the air.  But we can create our own...

Gloria, here is for you.

BUBBLE  I remembered no program today but came in to check anyway. Thanks for the link. I can sit back and enjoy this all the time I want. Love it.

Thanks Bubble. Chopin,my favourite. I can keep it playing while on this desktop trying to catch up.
Did Don celebrate this weekend? Canada yesterday, here in the USA Tuesday.
They love their fireworks.  I hate them. Going off all night.

It's an eclectic blend today featuring, amongst others, Mexico's unofficial 'national anthem'  (one of two so designated) and delightful soundtrack music by Shostakovich.  You'll also hear a hauntingly beautiful child's song as part of Mahler's 1st symphony.

So join the fun this Sunday for another edition of Reid's Records. It's on Sunday at 1 pm eastern time in Canada, 6 pm in the U.K, 8 pm in Israel.

What a fun program this will be

Pierre Henry, Composer Who Found the Music in Sounds, Dies at 89

Mr. Henry abandoned notes in favor of ambient sounds - dripping water, car horns, bird calls, locomotive engines - which he manipulated with a tape recorder in surprising ways.

That sounds quite intriguing!  Anyone heard one of his compositions?

Ready to go

Hello Don

I am here and all set to enjoy today's program.

DON  thanks for including a Chopin selection.

Here!
