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 079: John joins the Vienna Boys' Choir; Grammar Girl questions

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 076: Sunday walks and music
Day 76
— Sunday walks and music
17-October-1971 (Sun.)
It’s
Sunday—a Bruckner mass, a walk in the park, and a
great French horn performance by Hermann
Baumann—remember, I’m a horn player. A frustrated
horn player; though I haven’t been complaining
lately. 
Fall/winter is on the way.

Day 069: The early bird gets the book
Day 69
— The early bird gets the book
10-October-1971 (Sun.)
Today is
such a jam-packed day—from the early-bird in line for
tickets, to a morning mass, reading books, walking in
the park, taking pictures, and ending with a night
opera—today was, well, jam-packed.
I take a tangent on the benefits of reading. I’ll throw in a bunch of pictures if you promise to read about reading.

Day 62
— A day of contrasts

Today is a day of contrasts. First, the wonderful experience of seeing a performance of a Benjamin Britten mass with the Vienna Boys' Choir in a church setting, followed by reading about the Vietnam War in Time magazine.

Day 026: Mahler’s 8th Symphony; Schönbrunn Palace
Day 26
— Mahler’s 8th Symphony; Schönbrunn Palace
28-August-1971 (Sat.)
What a
day. A visit to the incredible Schönbrunn Palace and
gardens with Anjali, and an incredible performance of
Mahler’s 8th Symphony. Shivers…shivers…shivers up and
down my spine.
Practice on my new horn and sad to see Achille leave for Italy.
And a little rant on why the RIAA should change their policies and fees on licensing music for Internet-radio and podcasts.
