It’s just a slap in the face.
Ok, so i was on my way to my orchestra concert last night (which went pretty darn well methinks) and i was listening to the radio. You know what they were playing?? Dvorak’s Cello Concerto! Now, this was a remarkable coincidence since this piece just happened to be on the program for my concert!
Obviously, i was fairly excited (like really, really excited). Now, i was driving along, having a grand old time and piece, you know, just gonna went along as usual until the last half of the third movement. and DO YOU KNOW what happened then???
THEY STOPPED THE PIECE SO THEY COULD GIVE THE WEATHER. i was shocked. outraged. APPALLED. I mean, what kind of MONKEYS do they have running that operation??? to stop a beautiful piece in the middle of the last movement for the WEATHER?? It was absolutely outrageous. Like a slap in the face. It’s a damn shame they are the only classical station around here (especially since their choice of music about 2/3 of the time really blows).
Nonetheless, the concert went off well! tuning held together (for the most part) and my chops were alive! makes me so happy when the notes just pop right off like they were last night. so motivational. i feel like practicing.
