the Twig Show

Last week we went to Mostly Mozart and the emphasis was on percussion. The So quartet participated in a performance of a David Lang piece for orchestra and the group. At first we saw and heard twigs twigs snapped. The part took almost as long as takes to grow them, the twigs, and then liquor bottles were tapped. At first when I saw all those bottles lined up I thought the orchestra was going to have a party. No such luck. Then it got complicated. The Music. And  better?

A grownup facing the IPHone.

Instagram kept on disappearing! Settings didn't"t work, but I was busy.  I had not worked  in porcelain in  years  And there I was pinching, coiling and tapping, looking, looking, looking.  It felt like mud, yet slowly a form was beginning to take shape. Sometimes the  body remembers. I used to throw this stuff on the potters wheel.  Instagram and settings are still off and I am visiting the zoo known as Apple today.

New Title I miss Nora Ephron

Who keeps me company at night when I  am up with my husband quietly sleeping nearby,  this author's funny, sad humor.  She sounds so much how I feel if I only had her way with words.  So she keeps me company when the reality of what is going on disturbs me.

Saturday's Maverick

Great concert in that wonderful auditorium.  Oh those marvelous windows. The violinist Lara St. John is so talented, but does she need to call herself "Shiksa?"  Where I come from it is an insulting term as any other ethnic put down.
