Well, you've read the notes, the notes went about their business in an orderly way, and now it is time for you to post until the lovelier than lovely cows come home.

Speaking of which, I should be in bed.  It's just one of those nights when sleeping isn't easy.   :P

Maybe if I try I can get a couple more hours in, and slap that snooze button a few times.

Like I say -  :P

Good morning, all!  I have a big day of writing on these Men's Chorus charts. My intentions in Ohio were good, but I did not accomplish there as much  on the charts as I'd wished.  Today I'm scoring "Let It snow."  I'm also still waiting on a budget question concerning a vibraphone to finish a nearly-finished chart.

I did finish reading last week Seth Rudetsky's funny novel, BROADWAY NIGHTS, which I recommend to one and all, and I'm now in the middle of a mystery by Laura Lippman, WHAT THE DEAD KNOW. I've also noticed that now the taxes on the estate are paid and the Macbeths are no longer an essential part of my communication, I'm sleepng much easier.

TOD:
  These pieces make me weep:
      The finale of Britten's opera PAUL BUNYAN
      Chopin Ballade in G-minor
      "Nimrod" from Elgar's "Enigma" Variations
      Barber's "Sure On This Shining Night" and "Knoxville: Summer of 1915"
     
  These make me laugh:
       Almost all Offenbach (always a big smile if not a big guffaw)
       Bernstein's opera-bouffe CANDIDE
       Several variations in Britten's "Variations on a Theme By Henry Purcell" aka "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra"
       Prokofiev's "Lt Kije"
       Shostakovich's arrangement of "Tea For Two"
       Charles Ives' "Variations on AMERICA," especially in William Shuman's brilliant orchestration

Yes, DakotaCelt, the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic in April, 1912.  Similar to what happened to the cruise ship this weekend, but with far more tragic results.  Also, this weekend's cruise ship was sailing off of Antartica.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up.... And will be off to the airport shortly.  I'm getting there a bit early, which I don't normally do.  However, since today is still part of the Holiday Rush to get home, and since there's rain here and in NYC, well...  Hopefully any delays I encounter will be minimal.  I've have a great time back here in Virginia, but I really do miss NYC right now.

And as for the end of the strike, well, I do hope it does end this week.  However, I'm one of a large group of people who will probably be feeling the effects of the strike on a sort of delayed basis: the subs.  -Whether it is sub musicians, dressers, merchandisers, heck, even sub crew people.  I have a feeling that I won't be called into fill-in in a pit on a semi-regular basis for a couple of weeks as the "first call" people will be "trying" to make up for the funds they lost during the strike.  Thankfully, I still have a bunch of day work booked for December, but I have a feeling that January could get interesting.  But then again, January is always interesting.  ;)

As for the Topic of the Day, I shall have to ponder that while I'm at the airport and/or on the plane back to NYC.

Aren't you getting philosophical so early in the day? Call him Socrates! (sorry, DR MBarnum! I know you thought Socrates was a role played in a tunic by Steve Reeves)

I haven't read anything from Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. That will take a while but I do see from these posts that our Dear Vixmom needs a new job.

Vibes of the highest order to you, my dear. This is my last (partial) week at the office and I have much to do before I leave (at noon on Thursday) so I will slowly catch up on the weekend but I don't think I'll be in the living room much, at least for today.

Later, gaters.

I got back late last night from the memorial for my cousin in Framingham, MA late last night.  She was only 62.  There were about 250 people there.  Members of the immediate family (with whom I had spent most of the morning) had suggested that I sit in the front with them, but I somehow preferred to sit towards the side where the pictures of my late cousin were displayed.  Besides family functions, she and I had been in touch almost constantly by email, and it's amazing that email can make you feel as close as being there sometimes - some people (including some of my family)  feel the computer age has depersonalized communication, but I feel in this case it kept some parts of the Boston-area and NY-area families in regular contact.  

It turned out that at some point during her last days, my late cousin, as she knew she was on the verge of passing away, had specifically chosen the room where the memorial was held.

Many thanks for the HHW vibes and wishes of comfort for my family.

Last Wednesday night just before sunset and rain, the lighting was very interesting.  Here is how my neighborhood looked, with NO color manipulation:

Rainy and cold this morning.  I must run some errands, and think about the TOD.

Although songs that ALWAYS make me cry are:

Wildfire
Me and Little Andy

One song I remember hearing driving home for lunch and then having to buy when I went back to work at the Ben Franklin Store:
"I Think I Love You" by The Partridge Family.
