It's back to business following a week's absence. This programme includes youthfull works by 14-year old Mendelssohn, and 12-year old Rossini.  a couple of operatic arias in unusual settings, and to top it off there's a little banjo music by Vivaldi. I'm hoping Bubble will be sitting beside me, but we'll have wait and see.

Sunday afternoon 1:0 P.M.       -5 GMT (Canada)
http://tunein.com/radio/1069-The-X-s12279/

I finally woke up.  We are getting organized, then driving 3hours (?) to London.  See you soon Don!

Be still my beating heart!

Don.  Now I have it right.  I knew her son was in UK and figured cutting the trip into 2, 7 hour ones would make it easier. But she sounds like made it O.K
Do try to get her on the station Radio on sunday if you can. Love to hear he say a few words. Even Grandson may find it interesting. I will count on listening. Still to hot here to go anyplace out of town.

Bubble. Where did you fly into.? Montreal (My Favourite City). Although not seen Toronto and people like it there.
Now how long are you staying? You are sure to have a great time.

Don, as Sato used to post occasionally in this forum, I thought I would let you know he has been in the hospital for some time.  I had a short message today asking me to let his friends know he is still in hospital and has had a second stroke.

By the way, congratulations to you and Bubbles.

BUBBLE and DON  I am so happy for both of you. I have the station on listening to jazz while waiting for the most fleeting 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

BUBBLE  not only the hours of flying but the different times zones can make us tired. I know I always felt it when I used to go across the country to California, and that was only a 3 hour difference.

Hi all. First of all, Bubble did not join me at the studio because she is still overcome with fatigue; hopefully she will join us online later. And tomorrow we're off to Collingwood, a three-hour drive, to visit one of my sons who will impart his wisdom regarding reflexology to her daughter and son-in-law who are currently training in that profession. We'll be there for two days.  As for me, my joy knows no bounds.
FlaJean thanks for the update on Sato.  He frequently got up in the middle of his night to tune in.
JeanneP Bubble was on a direct flight to Toronto.

  Hi all. I just tuned in. W rioting on my I pad is hard! So will be brief and let Don impart all the news

Hi Bubble!

Don, 

Sorry about Sato. I wish him better soon and that this repeat stroke is not too serious.

I have rested this morning in front of a wonderful green landscape, view on the river, and with the sun shining warmly on my face.  Delightful!

The big plus is the great music streaming from my little radio now.  Thanks Don for reminding me that here I can get the program on the transistor.  I could not access on the I Pad  for some obscure reason.  BIzet is at its best in this.

DON  wonderful music to start the program.

BUBBLE  rest up today. Glad you enjoy what you see from your window.  Would love to see you move this this side of the big pond.

Hi Gloria. No chance I would ever want to move to a place with such cold winters!  ALready here I feel so cold when out in the evenings. In day time it is heavenly even if the locals find it too hot.

I am going to take many pictures here, to remember my delight with this corner of nature.

Ballet Egyptian does not sound Egyptian to me, lol, but great music for sure.

Aha, a Shostakovich bone for me.

Hi PatH; I knew you had a soft spot for Dimitre

BUBBLE  after so many years of living in a hot climate you would not be comfortable in Canada. Even my daughter after more than 40 years in southern California would not want to be here in the winter anymore. They will find their new home in Arizona different.  High desert country,  they are in the mountains but it gets very hot in the summer and the nights are cold. There will also be snow at times.

Wow for a minute I thought my computer was going to blow up. So sad when a child is abducted.

Yes, I had that announcement on the radio. How terrible!

Really scary.  He's not very mobile, has trouble communicating, and his wheelchair was left behind.

  that's recent innovation where amber alerts interrupt all broadcasts, radio or television. There is no control over when and how they go out; they override everything.

Bubble would you try and contact Donald on Skype; he called me on my cell but it's gone dead

DON wonderful piano to end the short afternoon. Thank you once again for a great afternoon.

Thanks for this lovely finale.  No Layla tov ?

Nice concert, Don, in spite of the interruptions.  Thanks.

Enjoy our continent, Bubble.

 :smiley6600:I am, Pat - unique!

Sorry I missed yesterday. I had company.

Glad you made it here, Bubble. Have a wonderful stay.

I wish Sato a full recovery and that we will see his posts here again soon.

Bubble's first picture in Canada   http://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?topic=11.new#new

A great pix and a beautiful day.

This is what I listened to this morning as I checked my speakers and adjusted them for the Ubuntu OS I just installed (got rid of Windows 10 on this machine). www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFsI-czkebc

I don't see a list of what Don will be playing tomorrow "Sunday" so he must be taking the weekend off. Bet he and Bubble having a great time. They will return soon and tell us all about it.  (Maybe not all). Hope that it has not been as hot in Canada.
