Lang Lang is releasing two recordings of the Goldberg Variations. One was performed live at the church where Bach is buried, the other in the studio.

It’s supposed to hit 105 this weekend, both days.

And no, it’s not a dry heat.

DR ELMORE your dream about your relatives in France and subsequently on Lake Huron indicates that you have questions about your childhood that are like missing puzzle pieces - and those who would know how they fit only speak in a foreign language. The answers you seek are closer than you realize.

The dream about your colleagues demonstrates a curiosity that is never fulfilled about how some of them accomplish anything of any worth although results speak for themselves. And remember because it is easy for you does NOT mean that it is simple for others.

I could not find a Browning box set that I wanted to pay for....but there are several Van Cliburn Cd's that I am looking at.....although I still play the LPs, I guess it's time to come into the 21st Century.....

I am also wearing my new t-shirt. I was struck by it - sort of an art moderne design with a slash of red and some black dots.....

I put it on today and looking in the mirror I realized that it is a snowman shirt....the red is a scarf and the black dots are coal buttons.....so much for Miro.

Show it to us!

Have been doing Kritzerland show stuff, had a telephonic conversation about same with the musical director and am continuing through the last of the Browning set, which is wonderful.

Just so you know:

When Chiron goes retrograde tomorrow, it gives you a chance to examine your identity and let go of those feelings that something is wrong with you. This self-healing opportunity reminds you to deal with the pain rather than ignore it, because it won’t just go away. This energy tells you that you’re stronger than you’ve been giving yourself credit for, and that you do have the ability to lighten your burden.

Great shirt, DR Jrand69. I'd probably prefer long sleeves on that if I had my druthers, but I really like it.

Finished the Paul Hirsch book and am now listening to Mr. Toscanini have his way with the Beethoven symphonies. He was a wonderful conductor who could be quite a nasty piece of work to his bands. But the performances are wonderful and I must say I like hearing these symphonies in monophonic sound.

DR Jrand you should share the photo here. It is a good photo, as well as funny.

Oops, I should have waited. I see you posted the nice photo.

DR George I look forward to the photo once your gift is ready. It should be very nice.

For what it's worth, the Barnes & Noble 50%-off sale on Criterions begins today. That's always been something I liked going into the store for, because your B&N membership card would get you another 10% off. Unfortunately, I hear tell they've all but decimated the value of having that card, partly by no longer allowing the discount on pre-existing discounts of over 20% or 30% or something. And if that's the case, I won't be renewing my membership. They've diluted their "brand" to the point that their only distinction as what used to be a fine bookstore is that they still carry SOME books.

A shame. I still prefer purchasing my eBooks from Barnes & Noble Nook vs Amazon Kindle. I have noticed lately my options have been greater on Amazon. Mostly due to the same few authors, still I worry about B & N going out of business.

If you have problems with face masks fitting this video might help.

I followed the directions and it works much better for me. First of all the mask no longer painfully stabs me under my eyes. Second, DR Laura the loop fits around my wrist without falling off.

I went to the Westport store to grab a few goodies, and was happy to find that they ARE allowing the member discount as before. That's just in-store, not online -- I think they make up for that with free shipping (?). So all is well on that front.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** July 10, 2020, 01:43:57 PM »

I didn't, however, get two titles I wanted today, Show Boat and War of the Worlds. No surprise, really, especially with the latter which was just released and "everyone" wants it.

That's okay, I can order them, or I'll get back to one of the stores before the sale's over.

I haven't checked in the past week, but I don't know if the Barnes & Noble on the corner of Broadway is open or not.
