That’s much nicer.

Mahler really used the triangle a little in his second symphony. It reminded me of Martin Short’s Ed Grimley character on SNL, who also played — or at least tried to — the triangle.

There was one moment where the player didn’t dampen quickly enough and that tinkle echoed a second too long. It didn’t matter.

The only recording of the Mahler 2nd Symphony I have is late Bernstein in his “overthink everything” mode. It’s so lugubrious that it doesn’t sound anything like the piece I heard Friday.

Try the MTT / San Francisco Symphony with the incomparable Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Urlicht.

I was planning to vote for her anyway.

LOL, like he could convince you not to vote for her.

He can reinforce exactly why I will be voting for her.

Big day tomorrow.

7:00am remote (video) medical appointment, and then right back downtown to continue the trial.

Good night, friends.

And others.

Starting a Bobby Breen musical called Make a Wish. I haven’t seen him before.

Oskar Eustis is coming to San Antonio to deliver a lecture. Sadly it’s while I am away.

I got a new gadget today that lets you do your own cupping. It works. Something I never thought I’d be doing to myself in my own home.

John G. · « **Reply #168 on:** May 26, 2025, 07:57:39 PM »

It’s raining here now, a sound better than Bobby Breen’s singing.

John G. · « **Reply #169 on:** May 26, 2025, 08:10:28 PM »

Flash flood warning and severe thunderstorm warning in effect.

And I have to be up at 5:45.

John G. · « **Reply #171 on:** May 26, 2025, 09:10:21 PM »

The thunder and lightning are too loud and bright to go to bed now.

Site was down again for a short while.

Good night, all.

I have several Mahler 2s. I'll have to look them over.

Finished with my viewing, although there's a part two I may try to watch later.

I did about six or seven pages today, writing-wise. Getting back in the swing of things.

Marshall Harvey picked up the hard drive. I'm supposed to make notes about what I want to fix.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** May 26, 2025, 10:18:32 PM »

The only problem is - I don't have the videos anymore - they're on the hard drive - oops.

bk · « **Reply #179 on:** May 26, 2025, 10:19:01 PM »

Site is hiccuping badly - I've reported the problem and hopefully they'll get it fixed quickly.
