Always good to find a German who can appreciate Russians for being anything other than in the way. I stand corrected.

You know, you can choose to be happy or to be pissed all the time. I chose a middle ground and try to lean toward improving the place. That means building coalitions every now and then among people with whom you otherwise have little in common or simply dislike. Dan is right, we do not always agree on political points, but I think very highly of Dan and choose to put our friendship above partisan politics. He is a great guy who does a lot of good.

I did not realize AWB was a whole gaggle of angry caucasions. Very scary. Color me a neophyte. I did not realize AWB was a whole gaggle of angry caucasions. Very scary.

Jim,

Weren't we told that those are the things that would attract people to live and work in our fair city? You must not have been listening.

I also noticed last night that the violinist is a protege of Jaime Larado of the IU School of Music. Mr. Laredo and his wife should also be applauded for themselves volunteering their time for a series of late summer concerts that helped raise money for the Philharmonic, for conducting himself, and for sending another talented protege, Bella Hristova, to perform in September. She was also excellent. In fact the FW Philharmonic is top notch and an asset to our community. Captains of Industry considering a factory relocation here or the opening of a sales office are impressed with the quality of the orchestra. It speaks volumes for the quality of life here and helps our economic development efforts. Loredo should be applauded for stepping up to the plate in a very tough year for the Philharmonic. As for Sam, he looked fetching last night, even with those stubby little tuba fingers. If you are speaking of Sam Gnagey, he is nice, but I am partial to blonds from other countries.

The concert was simply wonderful. I have been to many and this was as memorable as the Beethoven Ninth a couple years back. The music was a bit edgy, the performance was hot and the violinist looked splendid. I should also credit the guest conductor for his mastery of the orchestra on short notice. Speaking of notice, I noted that the violinist is a protege of Jaime Larado (IU School of Music) who also conducted this season and who donated his time and considerable talent to a series of free concerts at the Foellinger. His wife did the same and another violinist, Bella Hristova, who performed in September, is also a protege of his. The orchestra is a fine economic development tool when hustling an industrialist to locate a company or an office here. It is a first rate orchestra and speaks volumes about the quality of life here. Larado should be applauded for stepping in to help in a year when things could easily have been a disaster. You might find it in you to attend a pops or master works concert. They are excellent, and Sam, on a good night, can looking fetching, even with stubby fingers.. That is probably correct, plus Sam Gnagey has darker hair and I prefer blonds.
