I'll be back live next Sunday

Don. Hate to see the time has come for you to leave. However I will look forward to you being back on on Sundays.

Bubble. It has been a great trip for you both. Will be others.

Now today I did not have his show on. Was listening to one you may have had on. "Violins of Hope" It was a Memorial on the people who died in the Holocaust . Recorded over the Passover.  Lots of children playing.

Bubble.  The book could be good reading of "The violins of Hope"

Thanks Jeanne.  I will look into it.
Right now, with Holocaust Day here, we have had 48 hours of live reporting from survivors.  It is heart rending to hear their memories and all what they went through.

I was at the bank today and even there they had a small table next to the entrance with a lit memorial candle.
Near the memorial site for fallen soldiers they had a special service and they had brought there a train wagon very similar to the one that was used for transport  in Auschwitz.
This is a very important day in Israel.

I figured it was time to come to the surface after a four-month hiatus and get back into the swim of things. I'm more grateful than I can express for the wonderful responses we had to all of our posts during my absence, so for now, an inadequate "thank you" will have to suffice.

And now to the matter at hand as I begin my 34th year as the host of Reid's Records.

The month of May marks the 76th anniversary of the creation of that immortal American icon Bugs Bunny, so I'll open the programme with one of the many pieces with which he has been identified. Included as well is a non-operatic work by Donizetti and a recording of summer's night outdoor concert with the Vienna
Philharmonic. And the Mediaeval Baebes provide classical music's version of the Spice Girls

Don, I did not realize that Bugs Bunny was 76 years old.  What a character!

Welcome home, but I'll bet you'd rather be in Israel.

Mary Ann

Hi Don, glad you got home okay.

Welcome home Don. Now back to the  other way of life. Little Dieting I bet. Such food you enjoyed there.  Storming here for 4 days and still keeping up tomorrow. I hope I can bring your concert in O.K. Looking forward to it.

Hi All!

Hi Don. All set. Oh, I don't even have to work on my Latin today. I did it yesterday. So now I can just relax and listen.

Hi there!

Hi Bubble.

Hi MarsGal, Hi Bubble

DON  welcome home. I am late getting here but I am here now.  I know you and Bubble miss each other already.

Hi Gloria it's great to have everyone together again

DON  wonderful having you back. I did not listen much while you were on vacation, just not the same as when you are here live.

The Masquerade always reminds me of everyone just a little tipsy. A good piece for Gothic story, I think.

Oh I love this music, and I recognize it as a favorite tune for whirling around the room.

BUBBLE I would love to whirl around a room with that music, too.

Don't know how long I will be here. I can hear thunder in the distance and never have the PC or TV on during a thunder storm. Had a TV get hit during a storm so now never take a chance.

Bubble make sure you're strapped in your chair before you do any twirling

Ha h aha  not to worry Don, I am quite stable!

That trumpet is so joyful, could whirl with that as well!

That Mozart is really something to savor. Thank you for choosing it for today.

When you think the girl performing it was only 10 years old the performance is even more remarkable

I don't think I have recovered from jet lag yet

Mmmm...  Layla Tov!   Chopin was exquisite, as usual...

Who was it that burst in while it played? So inconsiderate!

That was me not focusing on the job at hand

I will try to be better next week. Layla Tov.

  Not sure if it belongs here but here goes....a bit of Charlie Drake humour, nine minutes of pure fun...

...Charlie Drake 1812 Overture...

Vanilla, I don't know if this is the same one you posted or not. The one you posted I can get because of a copywrite block. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0BLK4rs0Sw

Not the same but both are really fun!  I never heard of Charlie Drake before. No copywrite block here.
