Day 165: Electronic music class; a horn recital; dreams
Day 165
— Electronic music class; a horn recital; dreams
14-January-1972 (Freitage–Fri.)
Today is a
full day of school—electronic music class, a horn
class recital, and dreams of returning to Vienna.
This photo is that of our electronic music class. A
good question to ask ourselves is how our lives would
be different today, if we had pursued and followed
those early dreams.
It’s never too late to dream and it's never too late to take those first steps on your journey.
Enjoy! Read More...

Day 164
— NAMM and the Vienna Symphonic Library
13-January-1972 (Donnerstag–Thur.)
In 2008, I
visit the NAMM trade show and visit my favorite music
manufacturers and software developers, including
the
Vienna Symphonic Library.
If you are a composer, arranger, orchestrator,
producer, or have aspirations of writing music for
film, TV, commercial, or the record business, you
need to discover orchestral sample libraries.

— The hair, the hair
12-January-1972 (Mittwoch–Wed.)
It’s Day 2
of my blog catch-up. Today, in 1972, there is not
much going on.
In 2008, I post my student ID from 1971. Talk about hair. Weren’t there any barbers in Vienna 1971?

Day 162
— I’m Back!
11-January-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)
It’s been almost two months since I’ve blogged. Life in 2008 has been very hectic, with no time to concentrate on blogging. Just like Arnold, The Terminator, I’m terminating that silence. It's back to the past! I’m blogging again.

Day 159: St. Anton—Ingrid? Innsbruck—Elisabeth?

Day 159
— St. Anton—Ingrid? Innsbruck—Elisabeth?
08-January-1972 (Samstag–Sat.)
So who is
Ingrid? I love that name. Why didn’t I marry her?
Well, she was one of the English girls I danced with
last night. So, I leave Ingrid in St. Anton; make
plans to meet her in England in the summer; take the
train to Innsbruck; have dinner with Elisabeth; make
plans to meet her during Easter. I’m either
incredibly suave, handsome, and debonair, with all
the pretty women, or I’m extremely naïve, don’t get
it, and can’t figure out what is going on.
I think that, even today, I’m still incredibly naïve (with women). And I still can’t figure them out. Everything’s normal.

Day 156
— Great skiing; world conversations
05-January-1972 (Mittwock—Wed.)
Today is
an amazing day of skiing that brings me down the
backside of the mountain and many miles away from St.
Anton. How amazing is that?
At dinner, I come face-to-face with the emotion behind the conflict in Northern Ireland between the Irish Catholics and the British. At the same dinner table. A true-life learning experience.

Day 155
— I’m in a fog; I’m naked next to a girl
04-January-1972 (Dienstag—Tue.)
I’m in a
fog today. Literally. As I don’t want to ski off of a
cliff, I decided to spend the whole day with the ski
class. I talk about money a bit.
Oh, and one of my fantasies almost comes to life—standing naked next to a beautiful girl in a white nurse's outfit, next to a sign that says “Massage.”

02-January-1972 (Sun.)
My first
day of skiing at the wonderful resort of St. Anton,
an international skiing mecca for the rich and famous
(and a poor American student studying in Vienna). I
take ski lessons again and spend the day skiing all
over St. Anton. Nice.

Day 152: Glückliches Neues Jahr; New Year’s Day concert; off to St. Anton
Day 152
— Glückliches Neues Jahr; New Year’s Day concert; off
to St. Anton
01-January-1972 (Sat.)
What a
day! That’s how I end today’s reflections. I get into
standing room for the world-famous New Year’s Day
concert by the Vienna Philharmonic that features
waltzes and polkas by Johann Strauss’ I and II, dad
and son. What fun! Then, I head off on the train to
the Austrian Alps, stop in Innsbruck to give
Elisabeth a gift, and then head on to the
world-famous ski resort of St. Anton for a week of
skiing.
What a day! What a year!
