Well I am tuned in so hope Don shows up along with Bubble.

Listening on my new laptop downstairs where it is cooler.

The only problem with where I have it set up is that Oscar thinks walking across the keyboard is fair play. He never had the chance upstairs because I keep the keyboard on an under the desk pull out.

Lovely start to the show.

Hi Gloria, I get the impression we are the only two here today. Either that or everyone is being mighty quiet, including Don and Bubble. I wonder if this is a recorded show.

MARS GAL  sure looks that way. No comments from anyone else. Wonder if we missed an announcement about a recorded program. This is the first time I have nod had his list. I like following it. One way to remember the names of the composers.

I think that don is having a day off today. I have not tried signing on.

He didn't mention not being here for the Sunday program, so I am guessing that he and bubble are a bit preoccupied.

HAppy birthday JoanK from  Don and me.  WE wish you and Pat all the best and many happy returns.

Bubble. Hope you are have a great time. We all expect lots of stories from you later. Pictures also. How is grandson enjoying himself. Getting spoiled I bet.

We are all having a wonderful time and Aviv just love the attention he is getting from all.  He is even picking some English.
Photos will come later:  I have not learned to download or resize on this maddening I-Pad.

Don't forget to tune in on Sunday!

Bubble. Try to say a few words to us on Sunday. Sing a little song if you want to. Now I thought that Aviv would have been speaking some English. Taught by you. You will be taking him to Europe one of these days. Maybe Uk. Will need some then. Children pick up easy.  Now does Don speak Fluent French. Not that he lives up in Montreal area. Seems you need to there.

The time is whizzing by and my dream will be too soon over. There is a picture in the photo forum.

Don. Now I thought maybe you would be flying back with them. Take a vacation there. Any chance in the near future?

Despite so many blissful distractions the show must go on. We'll open the programme with a work written by Albinoni followed by a work NOT written by Albinoni. There's a work by a former Vienna Choir Boy and a couple of works featuring that same group. Finally, we revisit Antonio Salieri and feature some of his outstanding works.

The Beggar Student. How appropriate with classes starting soon. In fact our school district begins classes next week, or so I am told. Seems a wee bit early, but maybe they are trying to get ahead of the weather. There were an unusual number of late days last year because of the weather. At least they didn't have to make up many, if any, days because of complete closings.

Just saw School for Jealousy in the listing too. What an odd title. Should be interesting.

Don.  Now did Bubble help you make out the list for this week. Have lots of her favourites on?. Will she be sitting by you?

It does seem like schools have started early here this year. Other than University which starts Today I believe. All the others were last week. Town is Crazy now. about 35 thousand more people at the University arrived. All the grocery stores and Malls are full.  Driving is awful now. Lots come in from other countries and not idea how to drive around town. lots lease cars for the 2 years they will be here. I try to stay away from driving on the Campus areas. Noticing quite a lot of Muslims this year as see lot of the women with heads covered. Think we have about 9 thousand students this year from other countries.  Make for a nice International feeling.

We are here! Bubble is at my side

I am here! Fashionably late.

MarsGal  we bid you welcome

I was 10 min. late signing in. Did I miss you introducing Bubbles?

Hi JeanneP. Yes you missed it but there are a few pictures in the photo forum that you will enjoy.

I should have put a link in here to some photos!

Sorry...

Pat.  the photo's are great. So glad you got to meet them all. Looks like a great family. Don fits right in.
Hope you got rested up now.  Had you met Don before? I am sure it will be hard seeing them leave. I have done it so many times. Left to go thousands of miles away. They will find a way to do it I am sure.

Hi Jeanne...

Yes, Don and I are "old" friends.  London, Ontario is about 1 1/2 hours drive away from Guelph and in London are specialists (doctors), etc. that I might have to visit from time to time so whenever this would happen, I'd call Don and we'd enjoy a coffee together or a meal.  Don even travelled all the way to Virginia and surprised both Paul and I with his attendance at Paul's 75th Birthday Party!!

Pat. I thought that you had always lived in Canada. I think Don likes to travel a lot. So do I but not done much this past 2 years. If he can I am sure he will be the one going back and forth to See Bubbles.

 A full orchestra of mandolins leads off the programme followed shortly by Glenn Gould performing Beethoven as transcribed by Liszt. Early electronic music compliments of Mr/Ms Walter/Wendy Carlos provides an insight into that innovative genre and then we have a delightful musical portrayal of Beatrix Potter's Tale Of Piggling Bland

Don.  Will Bubble be with you this week also?. Not read if she has gone home.

I arrived back home last evening.  The plane had more than two hours delay and with the long flight we all found it very tiring.

It was a hard parting.  Aviv was crying his heart out in the car mumbling: "I don't want Don to stay behind, I want to be with him!"  I totally agreed with him.

I'll go post some photos taken in the studio last week. An awing experience to see our Don there producing  such a great musical program...

http://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?topic=11.msg43820#msg43820

Photos here

Bubble.  Such great pictures of you all. I am sad now knowing that you have left.  KNow you had a great time though.  Traveling is hard now but well worth it.  I am sure that grandson feels like Don is his Grandfather. He was quite young when Ben Past so most probably doesn't remember much.
Let hope there will be a way for you all to get together again.

Good to see photo of Pat. Hate to hear she is having some Med problems these days. We have all know each other for many years now. Hard to see the changes as the come. But Accept them.

Don one can tell just loves doing that Program on a Sunday. They will not want him to end doing it. Many listeners also. He is good at what he does. Should have taken it up as a Career years ago. Would have been great. Has a beautiful speaking voice.
(I forget that every one can read what is written here). O.K though, Don know we are proud of him.
