Ahh I made it in time. I love piano and there is something about Chopin's music that sounds different to me.

MARSGAL  even my email will not show the stationery anymore.  I am already disgusted with it.

BUBBLE  glad I made it.

DON  thank you, that Chopin was just what I needed today, and you have another one coming up. Perfect.

DON  determined man that Fleisher. That piece sure used his right hand. Beautiful.

That last one was   sooooo ... oh I am left speechless!
Layla tov and thank you

DON  you ended with wonderful peaceful music.  Thank you for the wonderful usic this afternoon. Now perhaps I can tackle 10 again.

I would normally be posting my playlist right now, but this I think takes precedence:  Bubble and I are engaged!  The formal announcement is here. http://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?topic=11.msg27461#new

This week's programme addresses, in part, that June tradition: the wedding in some of its manifestations.   Our representative for Fathers' Day is J.S. Bach who is eminently qualified for that title. And mezzo Frederica von Stade teams up with Garrison Keilor as they tell us about the cat who wouldn't stay away.

Love your selection of music this week!  Could you be trying to tell us something, in a very subtle manner? 

The inevitable has finally happened.

Congratulations SoP and Don!


When my best friend during high school got married, she refused to use Mendelsshn's Wedding March because she didn't want any joking/thinking she was marrying a donkey. I am guessing she did so to keep from giving her parents (huge practical jokers) any ideas and embarrassing her.

I am looking forward to Garrison Keilor. It is such a fun song. I have never heard his version.

Don and Bubble, I have to believe the photo is not actually the two of you!!  But otherwise, Happy
Engagement and congratulations.  Don will you be moving to Israel?

All set and ready to.
Tomereader that is not a picture of Bubble and me, but it certainly captures the essence of our joy.

There will be two unwelcome interruptions in the first hour.  Just hold your nose and bear with it

Holy Cow! I'm early again. Will be enjoying the music as I read into more Roman history.

To whomever came up with that "Sweet Sunday" ad for the radio station - I like it very much. Fits the day and the season.

Hi MarsGal

doodle sack! lol

love the music.

Oh good grief! I had a nap attack and got woken up by what sounded like my cats going at it. Here it was the music.

Hi Bubble
MarsGal that's  a good analogy; the doodle sack does sound like fighting cats.

Gloria must have fallen asleep as well 

Gloria has had another computer malfunction

I do like Mendelssohn. My favortes are the Hebrides Overture and he Symphony No. 5 in D major/D minor, Op. 107 (Reformation).

Oh Don, not again
I had read too fast and understood "Gloria has a malfunction" 

The male voice reminds me of Roddy McDowell.

Splendid Variationi
.  Full of joy!

As always a great finale!
Layla Tov and thanks for the enjoyable evening.

Bubble.  And from us all.  Boker Tov.  We are getting ready to face another 90 plus day.

same here! and 72% humidity. Sticky weather.

I don't know what the humidity is, but it's lovely here.  Our temperature is about 80 degrees and there is a nice breeze from the west.  I sat out on my deck for quite a while, just enjoying everything.

Mary Ann

Mary Ann. It has been up in the 90s here now for over 2 weeks. Usually I have all the deck furniture out by Memorial day. Not out yet. The cushions still in the shed waiting to be washed down. A nd the porch needs a little staining in areas.  Just has to be cooler out.  Your area sound perfect right now.
