I'll be Back

(9)

This brings us to the end of this week's blog. I'll be back. But before I leave you I want to mention my great pleasure as I drove to KSS this afternoon listening to KVOD: the first movement of BPC#1 was playing. As I drove into the parking lot it ended and the second movement began. I had only a few minutes before my favorite movement (3rd) presented, and so I rushed my shopping. I got back to the car just after the third movement began. I listened with great interest, making note of the difference in artistic style between what appeared on KVOD and what I listened to every Friday night as I transitioned to glorious drunkedness.

I must tell you this: the version I have is the definitive version of Beethoven's Piano Concerto number one. KVOD meant well. I love KVOD. But the version they played this afternoon was inferior to the version I listen to every Friday night: a Philips CD. The notes at the bottom of the CD are: Steven Kovaceivch/Arthur Grumiaux BBC Symphony Orchrestra/Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Sir Colin Davis/ Bernard Haitink.

This brings up the subject of whether you really want to 'associate' with me.

Could be dangerous.
