And was there a report from DR Laura about August Osage County?   


I thought Kerry and Sandra went to the show.

I suppose I should have read the technical support subforum before trying to upload a custom avatar picture and wondering why it shrinks and doesn't retain full size.

I guess I'll remain avatar-less for now! :(

DR Cillaliz - Are you just going to wait until the Spring thaw to recover your crowbar?

This morning's recital by Sasha Cooke and Ken Noda was wonderful.  Beautiful singing, sensitive and supportive accompanying, and a nicely varied program.  It really was a wonderful way to get my day - and my week - kicked off musically.

This morning's recital was followed by an informal Meet the Artists reception where they served coffee and mini-muffins. As I was waiting in line to meet Sasha Cooke...

Anecdote #1:

An older gentleman cut in front of me and started meeting and greeting with Sasha Cooke.  He started off with some wonderful compliments, but then said that he had one "issue" with this morning's recital.  He then went on about how she had misinterpreted one line in one of the Schumann songs.  He basically told her that the poem is told from a man's point of view, and that by having a woman sing it, the poetry was ruined for him.  She then very gently "corrected" him and pointed out that the line he mentioned is actually gender neutral.  He then started defending himself... And that's when I stepped in a little closer and extended my hand... "Thank You for a beautiful recital"... ;)

Anecdote #2 (of 2):

Another gentleman passed by me on my right, then turned toward me, smiled... Then his eyes lit up.  At first I thought he was an actor or singer I had worked with sometime in the past, but then...  "Oh! You're piano playing today was wonderful..."

-Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not Ken Noda.
"Really?"

That was when Sasha Cooke spoke up and pointed to where Ken Noda was standing.  Well...

We're both Asian.  We both wear glasses.  And we - well, I - just happened to be a pianist too.  So I can easily understand how he could have made such a mistake. ::)

Oh...

When I opened my program for this morning's recital, I noticed that the Bernstein selection that was originally announced had been replaced by two Sondheim selectons, "Take Me To The World" and "Losing My Mind". I guess that was a fair trade-off...

Thankfully, for the encore, they performed the originally programmed Bernstein selection, "What a movie!" - Dinah's aria from Trouble in Tahiti.  It brought down the house! *It's one my favorite arias, and I was glad that they had decided on the spot to go ahead and perform it :)

And then, courtesy of the generosity of a dear friend, I went to the closing performance of Ragtime.

I cried.

I cheered.

I cried.

I laughed.

I cried.

I sobbed.

I applauded.

I cheered.

I cried some more.

And I got in some good hugs before and after the show.

It really was a wonderful production, and the closing night energy in the house was truly electric.

I watched SWEET NOVEMBER which I haven't seen since 1968.....it is still the same movie.

I meant to record it, but then thinking about the amount of work projects I'll have coming up this week plus the usual prime time TV, I knew I'd never have time to watch it, and I'd likely need that DVR space at some point this week, likely on Thursday
