Symphonic Dances and Coincidences
My brother got my tag and listed Faure’s Requiem and that’s one of the pieces on my Canterbury Cathedral cd from Aunt Carol. It was very weird because I was listening to it when I read his blog. Last night I talked to my son Ian–he called me because my daughter had alerted both my sons that I had had a bad day (school=repression and intimidation). We talked about music and I told him that I wish I would have put down Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from WEST SIDE STORY. He said that he had noticed coincidences with some of his friends, too. Sharon read mine and emailed me hers–she didn’t know I liked Delbert McClinton! Joe and I saw him at the Kentucky Theatre and I was hooked. Then Brian Dewhurst found out that I liked him and made me copies of all his cds. YAY! Multiple coincidences. The other thing that Ian told me was that he is going to read FORGER and I knew I had heard of it somewhere, but I couldn’t remember where, and then we remembered that John had been virtually enchanted by it. Ian owns it so now I want to read it. One good thing about making some changes in my life might be that I could have some time to read. I can only read in the summer when I’m teaching. I’m going to each meatloaf at Michele’s tonight; I’m excited. Then we will walk it off, and I’ll have my therapy session with her. Last night I had two sessions (not to mention the ones with my kids)–Sharon at LiveWire and Deb over sherry, cheese&crackers, and sliced granny smith. I can’t begin to stay down with such good people in my life. Oh, and in case you didn’t know, KK’s into wearing tights under her pants and can’t give it up.
