jdaniel@jps.net	Good old Blomstedt. Saw him do Mahler's 2nd and 8th back in the day. Clean lines.

He'll be 90 this July..., posted on February 3, 2017 at 16:25:30

Now I'm thinking: "I'm getting up there in years, this may be the last time I get to see him conduct." :-( First they came for the dumb-asses And I did not speak out Because I was not a dumb-ass

Unbelievable. Good Nordic water I guess. , posted on February 3, 2017 at 17:44:08
jdaniel@jps.net	I'm having a bout of ringing in one ear. It so better go away. an A, two octaves above the staff, gets louder as music gets louder.... Hope it's not the big T.

Give it a few days. If it doesn't go away, see an ear, nose, throat MD. Often it goes away by itself or they put you on Prednisolone for a few weeks. I advise you to keep the music down to a minimum or not at all for a while. Your ears need a rest. Maybe you should go back to vinyl? (Kidding). Chances are it'll resolve.

jdaniel@jps.net	Thanks, I'm giving music a rest, and watching the OJ Simpson story on Netflix to pass time. Seeing John Travolta playing Robert Shapiro gave me the laugh I needed. Tried music this morning but couldn't concentrate. Life could be worse!

jdaniel@jps.net	Timpani are for girlie-men, what about the bass drum? : )

There was one of them on stage as well..., posted on February 4, 2017 at 08:44:46

but Beethoven's 9th is basically a concerto for tympani and large choir. =:-0

Wondering if these guys ever think of retiring. Guess not. First they came for the dumb-asses And I did not speak out Because I was not a dumb-ass

I wouldn't want to retire. Conducting is such a rush. nt, posted on February 5, 2017 at 22:19:07
