1. Firebird!!!

The whole program looks fantastic!

As I'm a pianist, may I ask, what do you play?

Have fun tonight. We're skipping the SOTU to have dinner with a friend.

6. timpani/some percussion

Got home just now....
Playing the glockenspiel part at the end of Russian Easter because I've played the piece probably, oh 20 times... I have NEVER gotten to play that part ----kick ass russian church bells clanging !!!


Glock is an early 1920s Deagan #562 Parsifal Bells !!!!!! Glock bars do not get any better. !!!

2. I have to miss it too. I have to .... sit on the sofa and watch West Wing reruns.

3. I'm going to watch Finding your Roots on PBS

it's about famous scientists, then any trashy reality program I can find. LOL

[pangaia]

9. The SOTU is a pretty trashy reality program itself !!

[eppur_se_muova]

4. l'Arlesienne ? (DU won't print the accent aigu in headlines)

Remember, it just means "woman from Arles" -- so, Arles + the same feminine suffix as in comedienne

PS: Really jealous of anyone in an orchestra. Haven't had a lot of luck trying to get into a performance group myself.

7. thanks... I have a feeling I'll never remember that.

I don;t especially care for the 2nd suite except the FARANDOLE which is great fun.. Calls for a tamborin provincal.. long French drum with one single snare on the top,,,, sometimes no snare
