Concert

Tonight the head of the music department at Albion invited a guest pianist to put on show. The guy who came played 3 pieces by Beethoven on a re-made 1780's fortepiano. It was amazing. I've never heard anyone play on anything other than a grand and the fortepiano had such a light airy tone to it. Mike has really gotten in to classical music so he really wanted to go and I agreed to go. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it...that is except for one thing. Every artist has his/her little quirk, and this guy had a tendency to groan and sigh really deeply when playing any intense part of the piece. I have never been so distracted at a performance before. I love music, but I much prefer it is coming from the instrument or being sung. The groaning concerto is not quite what I had anticipated. Had this guy been playing on a grand I don't think it would've been a problem because it is so much louder than the piano he was playing on. Oh well, it was still a wonderful performance.

Caitlyn, I know you have friends I hear you talk about them all the time. I have been feeling the same way about mom and dad. I keep thinking of things I want to call mom to talk about but I can't so we're in the same boat. I like the second quote, it really got me thinking about how I cook meat.

Jen and Kevin, Mike and are totally excited to come to little miss ella's numero uno birthday!!!!
