Crying parental tears both in sympathy & future anticipation. My two musicians will also fly their musical highways.

Good luck to your daughter in her studies. As a pro musician I know how tough a road it is but in contrast with authoritarianism, it is good for the soul & playing will keep her sane.

It’s a pop song - Sunny Side Up by Paolo Nutini (it’s the engaged couple’s song … that’s who the painting is for)

Truls Mørk is my favourite recording of the suites. I got to play Dvorak cello concerto with him - he was amazing.

I’m so sorry 😔 (my youngest (13yrs) is a horn player & obsessed with the horn this would break his heart)
This will impact school instruments everywhere - double basses for school are all Chinese made.

Oh my!! Are there American made horns beyond bespoke ones? No Alexs for the US 😥 … well affordable ones, the billionaires will buy them …

I’m not surprised by your order 😉 … mine would have Shosty & Bartok for 1 & 2

The scary point in all this is will America just put up with a failed president & limp along instead of doing anything about it. He’s undoubtedly failed already by many normal standards.

He watched it frustrated from the barbican balcony totally jealous that he wasn’t playing 😂 (his brother was playing in the basses)

I will find out …
He’s got loads of excerpts from this for NYO audition this year. So when I say I’m hearing it a lot, I mean a lot!! 😂

Do you see them in reality occasionally? It’s a bit of commute from FL to IL!

I remember in Covid everyone saying this would revolutionise teaching & we’d all be teaching students all round the world … eh nope 🙂‍↔️
