1. I loved that!

We need more "wow"s in this life...

2. This is why I loved playing in opera orchestras -- there's much more

audience "participation" ! So much more fun when people yell bravo -- or even if they hiss, as they did in Paris when they didn't like the conductor and the orchestra responded by stomping our feet on the orchestra pit floor to drown out the hisses because we liked the conductor!

8. Sounds like a wonderful time.

I've never been to such an exciting performance, much less played in one.
Congratulations to you!

9. On the positive side, there was the time the audience demanded a "bis" ("do it again")

of Samuel Ramey in the middle of his Attila performance in Venice. My colleagues said it hadn't happened there since the 1950's (this was in the late 80s). I thought: hah! And he's American!

5. Thank you. Hope they find the "wow" child.

It will make this good story even better.

have wanted to say just that after listening to a beautiful piece of music?

Thanks for the smile.

7. this actually made me teary eyed

Music is SUPPOSED to move you this way, the spontaneous burst of feeling in the musical moment this wonderful child, he felt it and at such a young age. I was truly beside myself, ah the mind of a child.
