Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

"they bought amplifiers and played Strats" - yes! Certainly true of my kids!

And now they have all this computer music stuff (software and hardware add-ons) which I wouldn't have the first clue (at least right now) as to how to employ! Since one of them (my kids) lives in Hollywood (actually North Hollywood), he's being encouraged by his brother (who once guested with the Van Halen tribute band, The Atomic Punks - LOL!) to make contacts there to actually monetize what up until now has been more or less just a hobby for both of them. They're both 38 (twins) and, although they both work in the "financial industry" (of necessity!) they are also constantly drawn back to their love for music. They respect the classical music which Ms. CfL and I listen to, but they're not really into it. And I can say the same about their favorite genre (it's jazz fusion now) - I do respect it, but I'm just not into it, despite trying.

One funny thing happened when they were still living here: they suddenly decided to go up to a middle school in the nearby town of Moraga and just start "jamming" (in their Van Halen wigs, no less!) with the other two members of their band to see what kind of audience they could get just from the passers by. However, somebody called the police on them. According to our kids (biased of course!), the police got there are were rocking out to their music for quite a while before they (the police) reluctantly told them they had to stop because of the complaint! (And, before tin pulls out his rhetorical question as to what would have happened if that band had consisted of black kids, yes, I can very well imagine what might have happened once the police arrived - alas.)
