Day 178 — Time Machine Tape Recorder
27-January-1972 (Donnerstag–Thur.)


TRANSCRIPT

Typical school day. As for a concert, saw Pierre Fournier, cellist (also saw him at MSC), who gave an excellent recital. I didn’t like the way he did everything but it was still extremely enjoyable. I always get a kick out of the way people stand at the bottom of the stage for the encores. It must make the performer fell unbelievably good.

Before, went to sight-reading class of Horn Solo Lit. (mostly that Dr. Paul wrote) with Dr. Paul. It was so-so. Good ideas though.


REFLECTIONS

A cello concert. After a regular day, I get to see an excellent cello concert by Pierre Fournier. When I say things like “I didn’t like the way he did everything…,” I wonder exactly what I was thinking. I’m not a cellist. Perhaps, it’s just being young and full of opinion.

Time machine tape recorder. I guess I would like a time machine tape recorder (like YouTube, but better quality), where you could dial in to your past life and see a video of whatever was happening at that moment. Then I could really figure out what I was thinking.

I throw out this free business idea to any inventors out there who would like to capitalize on it.
