Whew! That was fun. Thanks to those who watched. I know Jane can't do music at all - a shame, as she'd definitely remember this song from when I wrote it.

An oldie but goodie. I was surprised in revisiting it that it's pretty sophisticated harmonically for a young Jew with no real musical training.

There are times I'm tempted to "adjust" a chord or phrase, but in the end it's what it is so I leave it alone.

Sounded just fine.

It is. I miss music. Which song?

Listening to pianist John Browning - this guy is one of my favorites - wonderfully sensitive, beautiful playing. It's another Sony box but only 12 CDs, which I got for a buck a CD. There are two performances of the magnificent Barber Piano Concerto - but nothing could top the first with George Szell conducting. Leonard Slatkin conducts the later recording which I'm looking forward to hearing. Right now, it's Prokofiev's second piano concerto (all five are in the box with Leinsdorf conducting) - wonderful performance. And even though I don't love solo piano music, I have to admit that I was charmed by Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which I'd never heard. This is another original jackets collection, which I love.

After I feed the cats and settle me down, I'm going to watch this thing that was live on YouTube yesterday,

A Virtual Tour of the Largest Pipe Organ in the World!

The first organ recording I ever had was the Mercury LP "Bach on the Biggest" that my parents brought home for me when I was around seven or eight. My first great love in music was, believe it or not, organ playing, and I took lessons from a couple of really fine organists. Hence, that album. Naturally, I played that record to death (not sure if I still have that worn copy, must look), but I think I was as fascinated with that particular instrument and its setting as with the music itself.

Although my organ years are decades in the past, I'm always thrilled to find that Atlantic City has continued to care for it, and I'm looking forward to taking this little tour later.

Browning and Szell, yes, another great combination.

Time for me to leave work. During my lunch time, I bought a couple of poster frames and one is for my sister. I'll drop that off now and then go home.

Be back later.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #106 on:** July 09, 2020, 07:38:15 PM »

Yikes. That organ tour, so much terminology to try to recall. And I didn’t know the thing is still undergoing a complete renovation, with another ten years to go. Mindboggling and fascinating.

Good night, all.

George · « **Reply #108 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:29:26 PM »

Seriously? TWO posts in more than FOUR hours??

George · « **Reply #109 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:34:32 PM »

Today, I went to Michael's (the craft store) and bought a large (27" x 40") poster frame.

This Saturday is my sister's boyfriend's birthday.

George · « **Reply #111 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:35:19 PM »

I think he's going to be 70...and my sister is going to be 56 in September.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:35:44 PM »

I also think that they met in 1990!

George · « **Reply #113 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:36:16 PM »

Anyway, I never know what to get him for his birthday or Christmas because he can get himself anything that he wants.

Well, my sister had this very large (25" x 38") photograph of the Pacific Northwest Ballet.

George · « **Reply #115 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:37:34 PM »

Larry loves ballet.

George · « **Reply #116 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:37:51 PM »

My sister said that if I bought a frame, I could give Larry the picture.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:37:59 PM »

Good deal!

George · « **Reply #118 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:38:25 PM »

So, I went to Michael's at my lunch time today and eventually found the frame that was large enough.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** July 09, 2020, 11:38:40 PM »

It took a lot longer than I expected!
