How's this one?

Hm. Not a whole lot better.

TOD: "She Wasn't You" -- the one Brent Barrett sings on his album

Brent Barrett's "New Words"...or ANY song recorded by Brent Barrett!

Needless to say, I agree with you , George! How about Brent's other song on the Maury Yeston Songbook CD (along with "New Words"): "Only With You?"

From DR Chas:
Quote
DR Jane: When and where was the Heifetz concert?

Inquiring minds must know! If the one I'm thinking of was, in fact, his last public appearance, then guess who else was in that audience!

It was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on October 23, 1972 Door 15 Row P seat 39. I was going to take a photo of my ticket stub but my camera isn't working correctly. I'm sure Keith just needs to reset something.

If anyone special was in the audience I either don't remember or we didn't see them. I recall going to a concert conducted by Zubin Mehta and my father pointed mentioned it was Meta's family in the row in front of us, including his wife and mother.

Harrumph! I can't even imagine how you would have missed seeing me.

It appears I didn't keep that program. But I remember having heard or seen something about it at the last minute, and went down and got a ticket. Orchestra section, somewhere right of center, maybe halfway back. That would have been just about my first time in the Dorothy Chandler, as I'd only been living there for four months. Anyhoo, I'd listened to many Heifetz recordings through my college years and when I saw he was performing, I really didn't think much of it except that I must try to go hear him. Natural thing to do, right?

Several years later I attended a cello recital at the Wilshire Ebell for which Brooks Smith was the accompanist, and since I knew the cellist I went back afterward to say hi, and I told Brooks Smith that I'd always appreciated his work with Heifetz, among others. I said I was very happy to have been at that 1972 concert, and he said I was lucky because that was it. I think he even said that the concert itself was something of a sudden decision on Heifetz's part, not planned real far in advance.

I sure wish I'd preserved that program. But I was there, damn it!

It wasn't until years later my father told me that had been the last one. I'm so glad I kept my ticket stub to show the date. Loving Heifetz as I do it was just an incredible experience to have with my father.

The photo of my ticket stub won't come out clear. Instead I will put up a photo of the beautiful sunset we had on July 3rd. We don't get many like this here.

DR Chas I'm sorry about your phone. I suppose you tried calling it.

We did that, but one thing I absolutely remembered doing was setting it to vibrate because I was about to spend the day in the movie theater.

Too bad though sometimes phones make a noise when they vibrate.

I saw this LP set many years later in some store (I think Academy Records in NYC) and somehow walked out without buying it. The CD is kind of pricey now, though I see Archiv will sell a CD-R for $21.99.

I had no idea. Wow.

I also think it is super cool that you were also there.

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** August 12, 2013, 04:08:13 PM »

I copied the album pics to save.

I'm trying to stay awake...for some reason, I can't keep my eyes open. Not a good thing to happen at work.

George · « **Reply #102 on:** August 12, 2013, 06:00:08 PM »

Well, I must be off. I'm going to rehearsal, but I need to do some shopping first. Tomorrow at work, we're having our annual Summer Barbecue and I signed up to bring condiments. There is some mayonnaise in the staff room fridge, so I don't have to get that, but there are no other condiments...and I was the only one to sign up for them, so I have to get enough.

George · « **Reply #103 on:** August 12, 2013, 06:00:19 PM »

Any excuse to leave early.

Be back later!

I shall shortly be on my way to do the final mixing on Sandy's CD - we're going to try a marathon and to finish tonight. Otherwise we have to reconvene on Thursday night.

In the meantime, get me off this damn page.

Looking forward to seeing Sandy tomorrow night! Thanks, BK and Sandy!

Watching a funny episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show on ME TV.

I have spent much less time on the computer today and I am very proud of myself. With luck I will do even better tomorrow.

Jane · « **Reply #110 on:** August 12, 2013, 06:50:39 PM »

I am being fairly productive but not doing anything exciting to report.

I wish though that while Keith was working in the pond I had gone down to check on him instead of watching through the window. He said the fish were all over him. You should have seen his big smile while he was telling me about them. I think this is the first time he has enjoyed pulling pond weeds.

back from a dinner of sushi rolls (actually not my favorite because of the rice), but one was beautiful, a deep-fried volcano roll:

Then rushed off to dance class where I was the only male and therefore my every last step was overanalyzed and shown to be wrong, which made me hyper, but it was also needed and I actually think I learned a few things. Not as many I need to learn, but a few. .

Now watching "Children of the Corn II." Why, I don't have a clue.
