TRANSCRIPT
Vienna
Back to work, lessons,
etc.
Playing was bad. Going to take a while to get back.
REFLECTIONS
Back
in Vienna. Back to work. I’m back
in Vienna and back to the grind. It looks like my
vacation has affected my horn playing. Need to
practice.
Looking
back. What an
incredible three weeks. First a week of skiing in
Innsbruck, my first time in the Austrian Alps,
meeting Elisabeth, experiencing the sauna-theater and
hot-cold baths of Innsbruck, attending two Viennese
New Year's traditions—Dei
Fledermaus on New
Year’s Eve and the Vienna Philharmonic on New Year’s
Day—then a wonderful ski journey all over St. Anton.
Simply incredible. My life in 2007–2008 is falling
apart, but nothing could beat this time in 1971–72.
