Happy 2022 (we hope)...
For my birthday I was presented with a total surprise chance to play a Hamburg Steinway Concert Grand. I will put the link here. I've been hibernating (except on BZ) while helping care for my best friend in Michigan who finally passed 2 December. I usually rehearse but we'd been on a hike up Mt. Wachusetts that day. I am wearing a Bruin ball cap and grubby jeans. Lo and behold they drove me up to an 1857 gilded concert hall where Caruso sang and Rachmaninoff played recitals when in MA. (He was the conductor of the Boston Symphony for a while so he was in MA a lot.) No music with me, no rehearsal, blown away by the hall, no wonder I goof a couple times! But the audience was my family and the two piano movers! I'll put the link here and in a response I'll list, in order, what short versions (composer and title) are in this 15 minutes. My longer paid gigs are for old folks homes, not hep cats like us Bruins, lol.
Here's the link to a photo of me in the hall -- the photo AND the iPhone recording were done behind my back!
