Eine Kleine Blog: Brava!
http://einekleineblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/brava.html
Friday, February 10, 2012. You can't attend a performance at the Kennedy Center without seeing the audience rise to its feet at the end to give the artists a standing ovation. Which drives me nuts! Standing ovations should be reserved for performances that are in some way life changing - or at the very least eye-opening - like, say, Kathleen Battle's performance of chansons and lieder 20 years ago at George Mason or Andras Schiff's performance of Scarlatti sonatas at the same venue 10 years ago. CHO furn...

Eine Kleine Blog: I'm disconnected
http://einekleineblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/im-disconnected.html
Monday, January 18, 2016. Last week, television, radio, and web were awash with "appreciations" on the occasion of David Bowie. S death. A few days later, came another dozen reports celebrating the life of Alan Rickman. To judge from the media attention, both these guys were famous and admired. I don't know anything about either of them except that the few times I saw pictures of Mr. Bowie he looked creepy. Update: And now Glenn Frey is being celebrated. Who?

Eine Kleine Blog: Violin memories
http://einekleineblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/violin-memories.html
Monday, March 23, 2015. This morning's email from The New Yorker. Advises me that "the superstar violinist Leila Josefowicz" will be performing this week. I asked myself, "I heard her perform at the Kennedy Center half a dozen years ago, didn't I? Isn't she the pretty blonde. Who annoyed the devil out of me with all her twisting and squirming and fidgeting all the way through a not-very-interesting NSO performance of - what was it - a Mozart concerto? Or, in the words of The Telegraph,. What's interestin...

Eine Kleine Blog: A long walk
http://einekleineblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-was-looking-for-something-in-my-old-e.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2007. I was looking for something in my old e-mails this morning, and I stumbled across the following, which I sent to Jack a couple years ago when he asked for a report on my hike down the Grand Canyon. No reason to post it here, except it brings back nice memories. Missing: Jim Wilson, age 34, last seen while camping at Indian Gardens [halfway between the rim and the floor].". Can you run a marathon? Approximately 400 hikers a year require medical assistance.". Dan: "I'm trying to...

Eine Kleine Blog: Not all selfies are terrible
http://einekleineblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/not-all-selfies-are-terrible.html
Monday, March 09, 2015. Not all selfies are terrible. Joe felt crummy today, so I hung out with him for a few hours. When I joined him on the couch in front of a Pokemon cartoon, he scootched himself over to me and cuddled up. And yes, I know. The selfie part of this selfie is. Pretty terrible. But the Joseph part is pretty wonderful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Katka's got her green card! Abby's got a baby brother. The start of a really long walk.
