Too bad you live so far away, I would have liked to go to some of them.

So the Adagio for Strings stayed on the program? Man, that's going to be an incredible program. Eyeing up that Mozart program, too...

[av8rmike.livejournal.com]

A lot can change between now and June...

[tidesong.livejournal.com]

Even if it's on a program that's been publically announced?

OT

But based on conversations with tidesong here are two books that both of you might enjoy :):)

Violin Dreams (http://www.booksite.com/texis/scripts/oop/click_ord/showdetail.html?sid=5325&isbn=0618368922&assoc_id=prbs) by Arnold Steinhardt

and

This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession (http://www.booksite.com/texis/scripts/oop/click_ord/showdetail.html?sid=5325&isbn=0525949690&assoc_id=prbs) by Daniel J. Levitin

I haven't read either, but both look terribly interesting and both were suggested by Minnesota Public Radio (http://www.mpr.org) in an email to me this morning :)
