Skittles is a happy name.

Today I was pleasantly surprised at receiving my Underwater Dog t-shirt. I think it's the first time I received a premium before the marathon was over.

...hadda listen to some Cream in honor of Jack Bruce ( - hey - sue me.) - & this set actually makes a good transition...HolyCrow ! This pianist !!...

Rynac:

I've never been known as a techno-savvy, but tonight is a first. I'm listening via the WFMU Android app and have connected my phone to an external speaker system. Concert hall in a phone -sounds much better than computer speakers.

Mrs P:

I still miss the Vicki and Bethany lineup. Is anybody at WFMU in touch with her? So happy to have Bethany here still with her musical treasures and wisdom.

I'm going to get the Four Seascapes on my IPod as soon as your program is over.

Hey Matt! Where ya been? Oh - Germany.
...To be Schooled by Bethany w/ such unfailingly tasty selections is indeed a wonderful thing. Appreciated.

@RRN63 8:19: For this program(me), you can be "Bass in the Key of O"!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:38pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Basso Profundo or Absurdo - I've never been quite sure...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:40pm
Matt from Springfield in Germany:

Deutschland, and Polska! A new appreciation for *Central* Europe...I want to visit Austria and Czech/Bohemia sometime!

I always thought the profound and the absurd were kinda similar...

Mrs P:

Hello Matt. I hope you are having a wonderful trip. My husband and I visited Berlin this past May and still talk about it with reverence. How nice of you to stay up late to listen with us!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:46pm
Matt from Springfield in Germany:

Thanks Mrs. P! (Although, I flew back to the USA on Saturday ;) Still, I enjoyed Berlin so much, and felt disappointed I couldn't make it to Potsdam. A good trip should immediately give you ideas upon leaving what to see the *next* time you return! :)

...is it ignorant to say I'm put in mind of 'Night on Bald Mountain' ? I have a new idea of what Strauss is about !...

Todd:

Fucking great show. I used to run a comic store in Brooklyn Height's, and I always insisted on a performance when any of the St. Ann's kids came in with an instrument. One rosy cat took out his French horn and played a haunting Sibelius piece evoking the arctic
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm
Matt from Springfield in Germany:

@Todd: What a cool (or should I say *cold*) cat! How lovely to suddenly get a Sibelius performance on French horn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm

...not an easy instrument ??...

My friend Nadine's father Fred, with the OSS, commandeered Richard Strauss's home and ushered him out to a detention facility. Fred was an opera fan & was very pleased to meet him, but had to take care of business 1st.

The French Horn players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra used to have an ongoing "bet" that they would all go out to dinner at one of the best restaurants in town if they got through a concert without anyone making a flub. They rarely had to pay off...

@Robert: What a piece of history!
Was Strauss' home in the Alps at that time? Germany or Austria?

Lovely stormy program tonight Bethany. Have a good week everybody.

Matt, according to what I see in Wikipedia now, it was "his Garmisch estate". I don't know if that was its name, location, or a description!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:58pm
Matt from Springfield in Germany:

Garmisch, in southern Deutschland, in the Alps!


Yes, thank you Bethany, especially great musical theme tonight. Have a good one everybody!

Garmisch is a mountain town in Bavaria. Nowadays, one finds the Richard Strauss Institut there [ http://www.richard-strauss-institut.de/ ]
