An
incredibly full day—horn lesson, piano practice,
electronic music composition and lecture, Leonard
Bernstein rehearsing the Vienna Philharmonic, another
Bach Heiler concert, and watching Buster Keaton
silent films. I’m still writing in German. The big
news—Leonard Bernstein is in town conducting the
Vienna Philharmonic in a Mahler series. This is big.
Photos from the 1972 Mahler Symphony
No. 5, concert
video, today.
Was this a full day or what? An incredible day.

Day 165: Electronic music class; a horn recital; dreams
Day 165 — Electronic music class; a horn recital;
dreams
14-January-1972 (Freitag–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...

Today is
my first horn lesson from Professor Gabler in Vienna.
Holy cow, it’s an assembly line. I wait my turn as I
listen to other students, and other students wait
their turn as they listen to me. Uh, oh. What is this
Viennese style lesson?
In 2007, I am in Washington, D.C. and get to see Whistler's Mom.

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?
