Day 300: Big music day at Mai Fest
Day 300 — Big music day at Mai Fest
28-May-1972 (Sonntag–Sun.)
Vienna,
the city of music, lives up to its name today—the
Vienna Boys’ Choir, Mozart with the Vienna
Philharmonic, Böhm conducting and Gundula Janowitz
singing Weber’s Der
Freischütz are all on
the menu. Wow!
This is 300 days of blogging today. Come on Google, you say content is king. Give me a #1 ranking. (I used to be in the top 3 for a short while.) That said, we do use Google as a time machine to travel back to some of today’s concerts.

Day 295: Angelo Badalamenti and Twin Peaks
Day 295 —Angelo Badalamenti and
Twin Peaks
23-May-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)
A regular day. I feel good about helping some American tourists. In 2009, I take a lazy day and talk about the coincidences of a Twin Peaks rerun that I happen to see on TV and composer Angelo Badalamenti.
Oh! NJ is closed for business. House prices are way too high. No one can buy a house. Rents are high and ever rising. Time to leave?

Day 053: Mozart's magical opera
Day 53 — Mozart’s magical opera
24-September-1971 (Fri.)
There’s
magic in the air, at the Volksoper, with
Mozart’s Magic
Flute opera. I
imagine writing a multimedia version of an opera,
though it hasn’t yet happened.
The Magic Flute is a wonderful opera. Try to see it, if you can. Kids would like it as well.
Still practicing. Roommates leaving. Exam coming up. Read More...

Day 25 — Coffee with Mozart, Hadyn, and Beethoven
27-August-1971 (Fri.)
A short but historic day. Dining with Schubert, and drinking coffee with Mozart, Hadyn, and Beethoven. I meet my new horn teacher. It looks like the music’s about to begin. Maestro!
And the first historical documentation of my career as a songwriter. It began in Vienna? Who would have thought?

Day 18 — Salzburg, Austria; first train trip
20-August-1971 (Fri.)
Mozart’s
birth city — Salzburg, Austria. I take my first train
ride, totally standing up, to this wonderful city.
Salzburg welcomes me with a hail storm and no student
service to help me. What to do? Find a room, walk
around, listen to music, and enjoy. Which I do.
Photography is my hobby and Salzburg is a great place to take photographs. (Photos coming soon.) If you aren’t already taking digital pictures, you should be. Come on. Pictures are memories!
