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.

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 167 — Back to music
16-January-1972 (Sonntag–Sun.)
It’s back to some concertizing in Vienna. A Beethoven mass and Brahm’s symphony. Music heals the soul. In 2008, I need some soul healing—back to the blog.
My brother and college buddies are coming to Europe. I’m going to try and hookup with them.

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 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 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 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.
