Body of Water

This is a photo of a canal - I'm sure it goes somewhere. It's not the Erie Canal, but it could be, if it were a lot wider and not surrounded by so many trees. The water is so still it almost looks like a mirror. Where this water is going is anybody's guess, but it will serve a purpose, that's for sure. It's not just sitting there looking pretty. The purpose of this little blog, however, is quite questionable - I'm just writing to kill a little time because I'm waiting for the clock to strike 8:45 - that's when the phone will ring.

Film Music

Well, we played our film music concert at the Plaza Theatre last night and it was a resounding success. The public simply adored our guest conductor, John Scott. His resume is very impressive - he has worked with some of the great luminaries in the music business, especially as regards recording and film scoring.
My reward came simply in seeing that he enjoyed such a sweet and great moment of triumph at his age - he is 78. That, to me, was what made the experience memorable. During the ovation, he stepped off the podium and went around heartily congratulating the various sections of the orchestra with firm handshakes - he seemed to especially like the way the brass and woodwinds performed. He also took the opportunity to kiss Ida, Lora, Liz, Cristina, Anita, and Leslie - all of the girls closest to the podium.
