“Music is everything that makes the musician: family, friends, hardships, joys, the sounds on the street, how tight you buckle your belt, the person who happens to be sitting across from you in the subway car, what you ate for breakfast—all of it.” Easily Slip into Another World by Henry Threadgill

I don’t know many people on this app and I really don’t have much reach. But for anyone south of Ventura, CA, we have a spare room and it’s open for anyone who needs it! We’re pet friendly too. We’ve been through this, we lost a house in the Thomas Fire. Please, please let us know if we can help!

Pet sitter sent a few photos and a video of Phoebe! Sadly but not surprisingly, no sign of Pete. He’s probably hiding in the closet. I also spied Phoebe on the video from the feeder a few times. Missing them both!

Marian Anderson Hall is such a beautiful venue. And my seat is perfect to see Yannick Nézet-Séguin conduct. Thinking of my dad tonight—my favorite orchestra and opera buddy. Missing him.

My holiday tradition for decades—hearing The Philadelphia Orchestra playing Handel’s The Messiah. And they’re playing the entire oratorio!
