I remember loving Scheherezade as a kid.
For all I know
RebecaCello and Betty Lou are the same person.
Why didn't I
sell Compaq when it was in the low 30s?
What would the Mozart
Triple Concerto have been like?
Nothing beats a good chamber
music session.
I enjoyed Dubya's joke at the Yale
commencement. I appreciate people who can poke fun at
themselves.
George Crumb's cello sonata is always a winner in
recital, but he doesn't like for it to be played. He ain't getting
any younger and it looks like there aren't any other cello pieces in
the works.
I don't care what anyone else says, Henze was a
great composer!
Why does cheap gas cost over $2 per
gallon?
Barber's cello concerto should be required repertoire
for cellists at US music schools.
The Principal Trumpeter of
the Atlanta Symphony, here in LA auditioning this week, sounds
absolutely great.
I have no idea who to vote for in the LA
mayoral election. (At least there are no rolling blackouts in
LA!)
Must get steaks and beer at the store
tomorrow.
My garden is happy and life is good.

Our season's over - free at last!
Cleaned the entire first
floor yesterday - what a pleasure to be able to walk around my house
again!
Too much rain - why does weather work in blocks - 4
weeks of sunshine, no rain, then an entire week of rainy days. Can't
it be mixed?
Student recital coming up - then two weeks off!
Won't have to hear Breval/Romberg/Squire for that time! Maybe I'll
actually want to turn on the radio again.
New bow is great -
now need to look at cellos!
Begin work on infamous Beethoven
Triple this summer for concert in 2002-3 season. Fun!
A high
school graduation fast approaching - time of celebration, nostalgia
and anticipation. Such a fast 18 years!
Getting cable modem
today!!!!

My last concert of the season was Saturday.
This is technically
a work week, but nothing was scheduled.
Cheryl - send rain
here - we haven't had any in ages. My garden has to be watered alot
- but only on even days - we have water restrictions.
Got my
first tomatoes from aforementioned garden.
Got music for
Voice of the Whale - looking forward to learning it.
Also Cafe
Music. And Tangos.

My tangerine tree is almost one year old now, and is moving into a
new, 8-inch pot!!
I shouldn't have posted that message re
"I'm sorry" on the "Cellists By Night" board, even if I would have
said the same thing if I were ten years older than I am
now!!
That funny-looking plant under the dryer vent probably
isn't marijuana!!

Re:

Hmmm... I'll jump in.
Just gave a concert at the Oceanside
Museum of Art and felt very fortunate to have made relatively
unscathed with less than a week of rehearsals.
Shostakovich
sonata rotated out
Strauss Sonata (wohoo!!) is rotated
in
Need to get some new photos taken for a press kit (my last
publicity photos taken were from when I was 19!) Photographer wants
me to get some ideas from Magazines...ha! Ok, no wise cracks.... NO
Marky Mark or Calvin Klein remarks 
!
Gardening is my wife's forte but...
We have a
white-flesh donut peach tree that is about to bud and we've counted
about 99 blossoms so far.
Our perssimon tree is still bare
(last year it yeilded a good crop)
Alexander is going to go a
little preschool music class with my wife. He liked the first one
even though he was the youngest kid there. But all the singing,
clapping and dancing intrigued him. I'd rather do that than work! 
Concerts in Ukraine cancelled  (I don't
have enough vacation days stored up!) but that frees me up to learn
some new concertos this summer what
shall I learn? Khatchaturian Concerto-Rhapsody? Miaskovsky Concerto?
Shostakovich 1&2? So many concertos, so little time! (and not
enough fingers!)

I love Martin Chalifour's playing. (He is a violinist for those who
do not know.)
TV is an eye into a world gone mad.
Why
do people think I am someone else, or one and the same? (I am not!
Please, RebeccaCello has trouble writing her name in the dirt with a
stick, I couldn't fake that cumbersome writing style!)
I am
both repelled and fascinated with Krispy Kreme donuts. Somthing that
good must be exponentially bad for you!
Why do so many people
lack humour?
I remmber the days when the San Fernando Valley
was mostly an orchard, and a gallon of gas was 26 cents.
I
hope to someday play Milhaud's "Creation of the World".
I
must see someone about my Diet Coke addiction.
I saw Dame
Edna last night. She and I see eye to eye. She called the patrons in
the upper-most mezzanine at the Schubert, paupers and later
"Mizzies", from Les Miserable. What a scream she
was.

I wish I could find time to ramble on like this. It might be
interesting... (Paul, you're a new dad, how do you find the time?

Hi Sarah
I am currently learning this piece for my
university's contemporary chamber players group. Performance is next
week. Once you get over the initial shock of trying to read the
score it quickly falls into place and you begin to realize what a
fantastic piece it really is!

Steve - Where's
the time?
I find the time to post on CC between projects at my job where I am
a Systems Administrator. I have a computer in front of my face 8-9
hours a day!

What, and let her have all
the fun? No way! I spend every minute of my life that I can playing
with him. I'll have you know that I actually like changing his
diaper and bathing him, etc.
As
for finding time to practice, all I can say is that I'm grateful to
have neighbors who don't mind hearing the cello at 6AM and that I
have a flexible schedule at work where I can show up at
10AM.
Sleep? Well, you only have to see me now and you'd
realize that when I get on a plane, I have to pay extra for the bags
under my eyes!

Oh and...
Why do we park in the driveway and drive in the parkway?
If
the plural for mouse is mice, then why can't we all own 2 or 3
hice?
My credit ratings are so bad they won't even accept my
cash!
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
If
vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
What
is a cross between a dimished chord and an augmented chord? I say
it's a DEMENTED chord
I wonder what part of Italy Catto Pizza
came from and how does it taste? I know how is sounds...
Is
it just me or does the Low E at the end of the opening of Lynn
Harrel's Elgar recording sound like a trill?
If I could
vibrato on a C# at 440 oscilations per second, would it become an
A?
Can I have fun without ticking anyone
off?

My most rembered quote at an audition was "I'd
really like to help you out, which way did you come in?"
In

Oh
puhleeeze!
I don't know what is with these management types! Take a chance on
a "youngster" for heaven's sake. There are a few good ones out
there, and they'll mature (hopefully). They missed the ball on Simon
Rattle and now we have Eschenbach (sp?). I think we live in the
cultural sinkhole (speaking of Buffy - maybe there is such a thing
as a "conductor slayer"????)

No, dear, analytic SW, I am not "Justin", but if Justin is a
muscular, well-groomed man wearing a black turtleneck and
closely-cropped facial hair, I think I saw him (actually, there were
literally hundreds of men fitting that description Tuesday night at
the Schubert, the theater, not the composer)at the Dame Edna show in
Los Angeles.
Dame Edna also presented a scorching running
commentary on "mutes", what we here refer to as "hearing impaired".
It was a real laugh riot.
lovingly,
BettyLou

Yes, indeed,
and...
We're all wearing black head to toe, black Zorro masks, we're
amplified, the stage is going to be lit by a blue light to symbolize
the sea, AND our stand lights are also going to be covered in blue
plasic gel. It's going to be great. Also on the program, Antheil's
'Ballet Mecanique' and something by Joe Schwantner (I forget what).

I'll start where Paul left off,
Which fruits are in Juicy
Fruit chewing gum?
Why don't we ever see the money from pay
phones being collected?
Why do so many old people eat at
cafeterias?
Why does Wendy's have square
hamburgers?
Why doe the word Filipino start with the letter
F?
What is the purpose of a flat toothpick?
Why do
women open their mouths when applying mascara?
Why do yellow
lights in Washington, D.C., traffic signals last longer than those
in New York City?
And finally,... How does Kraft get "five
ounces of milk in every slice" of American Singles?
