Day 265: Bernstein and Vienna Boys’ Choir in Mahler 3
Day 265 — Bernstein and Vienna Boys’ Choir in Mahler
3
23-April-1972 (Sonntag–Sun.)
What a
day, again! A long post for a great day. The Vienna
Boys’ Choir, first in church, and then in concert
with Leonard Bernstein performing Mahler’s 3rd
Symphony. Wow. Today, was the day I took pictures
inside the Musikverein. Then an opera at night. Is
Vienna, the City of Music or what?

Day 189 — Pretty “well,” not pretty “good”
07-February-1972 (Montag–Mon.)
My grammar is not well, err, good. Sheesh! Thank goodness I bought Grammar Girl’s new book.
I won’t be a film composer anytime soon, but I am appreciating Prof. Kaufmann, once again.

Day 097: Grab that shovel—Dig up your past
Day 97 — Grab that shovel—Dig up your past
07-November-1971 (Sun.)
While 1971 is a great day for music with two concerts, 2007 sees me digging up my past. I am having a blast and it is bringing up great memories, some slightly corny love songs, and a ton of music-on-tape that I haven’t heard in decades. I am so excited, that I ramble on forever in today’s posting.
I encourage you to do the same. Dig up your past and enjoy those memories. Read More...

Day 79 — John joins the Vienna Boys' Choir; Grammar
Girl questions
20-October-1971 (Wed.)
The big
news is that I join the Vienna Boys' Choir. There is
even a photo of me. I start my first day in
electronic music, attending an acoustics class. And I
have fond recollections of my new-found friend Alan
[Civil, 1st horn of the BBC Symphony Orchestra] from
yesterday.
I talk a lot about my writing style in this post and pose questions for Grammar Girl—should I be “true” to the journal?

Day 32 — Amusement at Prater
03-September-1971 (Fri.)
A day at
Vienna’s Prater amusement park with Anjali. I get a
little dizzy, lose in ping pong, and eat a lot. As an
aside, I comment on my use of emdashes and thus
address some of the grammar issues of my journal
writing, and plea to Grammar Girl to set me straight.
