sunday sounds

i had an excellent sunday afternoon with ms kidd at the symphony sunday, beginning with one of the more rousing renditions of the national anthem i've ever heard --- and by an orchestra!! --- rachmaninoff's piano concerto no. 2 in c minor was what i went for --- a favorite since h.s., but never heard it live --- good pianist, but a little overpowered by the orchestra at a few points --- tchaikovsky's fifth symphony is not my favorite, except for the opportunity to continue enjoying their newest bassist, sharif ibrahim

there were these little "listening guides" that I had not seen before --- nice, but too much studying for the moment
