Thats A surprise. Not seen it on TV or Paper.

I saw that  in the NY times I believe

I now found it.  The must give out Nobel Prizes for most everything anymore

This is for his.  Singer-songwriter takes award for ‘having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition’

The announcement was on every evening newscast on TV.

We have a big article in our Local Paper today showing Pres. Obama placing the Medal on him.

There's a short, but beautiful choral work by Tchaikovsky which features a bass that could shake the foundations. And to add a touch of nostalgia we visit Old Heidlberg and the charmng prince and his adoring barmaid. Then we have  a violinist who was born in the same house as Mendelssohn, and another violinist/composer who provides us with an interesting interpretation of Yankee Doodle.

Before the concert...

 I am here ready and waiting.

Hi Gloria.

Salvete Omnis!

Salve!

Hi DON always enjoyed Fledermaus, lively.

Hi MarsGal, Hi Bubble

I am hear listening to Don. Saved my big bag of ironing for this time. Think I should be able to get it all done as he ends .
Raining hard and so a perfect thing to be doing.

Hope all having a nice Sunday. Just relaxing. Maybe you have ironing also....

Hi JeanneP

Jeanne, I NEVER iron!  That is w***k, and I avoid that as much as possible: I am retired! 

BUBBLE  you must have read Joan Fl's book. Being retired we no longer work and if we do she gives us demerits for it. Have to make sure we do not work in the Soda Shoppe.

Vieuxtemps -  I love it!  Do you have lots from him?  I never heard of him before....

DON Vieuxtemps must have been written with Yankees in mind. All I can think of is Yankee Doodle Dandy listening to it.

Bubble I have very few of his works in my collection.
Gloria for some reason Yankee Doodle was a very popular tune among composers and a few of them frequently used it as theme in some of their lighter compositions.

Rondo Capriccioso - I am in the mood for violin music tonight. 
But I wish the neighbor's dogs would stop barking!!!  Both did not stop since the music started - not because of the music, but the owners went out to celebrate the holiday and left them alone.  So inconsiderate.  I wish I could give them some vodka to make them sleep!

All got all the ironing done at the same time that Don had to go over into the News. Canadian News about the same as US for problems.  they don't have to listen to the Political mess like we have to right now.
I just still like to iron my Jeans, pants and blouses, Tops. That is about it.

Found one Photo but just can't get it out to Jack to put it on.  My computer working is a mess at the moment. Have to either go and pick up my new one with W10 on or get someone to reinstall everything on this one.

Peaceful, relaxing, great finish.

Layla Tov and thanks for these enjoyable three hours.

DON  thank you for a great afternoon.

Don. I will  always do my ironing to your Sunday concert now. got a lot done and  went by fast. Need that in the coming winter months. Some foot tapping ones today.
Thank you. Bet you are back home now.  Looks like you got rain today also.

We have Beethoven's version of the Gunfight At The OK Corral, while at the other end of the spectrum we have the gentle strains of ethereal Chinese music. There is also what I consider a curious blend of Celtic and baroque performed by the Canadian ensemble Puirt a Baroque from the island of Cape Breton.

I am here. Going to turn volume up a bit higher today to drown out the sound of the wind. Will not be many  leaves left on the trees when it is finally calm here.

Hi Gloria.  All set up and ready to go.

and I cannot get in!!!

Bubble, what's going on?
