I was just picking out a cd to play (I'm culling them, refuse to buy any ugly cd shelves, which are all I find online, or build any) and ran across Lizst.
Nuts, Dys and I just were talking about Lizst on Friday, he said he loves Lizst (I didn't know that) not all that long before the stroke, probably a few hours. Lizst, in the context of his associate Wagner, in the context of artists you might not like as people but who were good.. Picasso for example, also in the context of artists who drew on napkins (the coffee art thread).

My point, I'm going to play these three Lizst cds thinking of the Dys. But Dys likes all kinds of music, which you all well know, mad expert really.

So, while Dys is getting better, why don't we rack up some Dys sounds? I think Rockhead and Shewolf and edgarblythe, and of course Diane, have a finger on his favorites.


So, my part in this -

- From the great pianists emi series, Jorge Bolet, with thirteen cuts on Lizst within 2 cds. He's the guy who did the piano for the old Lizst movie, Song without End.
- Hungarian Rhapsodies Nos. 1-6 by Willi Boskovsky
- Les Preludes, Mazepa, Hungarian Rhapsodies 2, 3, & 14'
Boskovsky, Rozsa, Masur

Might not play them consecutively.. I remember that Bolet is my favorite, but I don't play these often.


From You Tube ------

A piece I learned a truncated version of as a child, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6... heh, consider piano stupidity, rampant.
But here's a rare recording by Horowitz - and it jollies up after the intro..


OK, wow, I still like that in its progressions...

@Francis,
Francis, don't tell Bob I told you, but he had some very good asiago on pasta yesterday.

Maybe I will give him a Velveeta massage later today. Better yet, since we all know how much you love Velveeta, I'll leave the Velveeta maggasge to you, you lucky, lucky man.

Michael, the person to whom BBB is referring, is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. Both he and his wife, Beva. Mike and Bob have a very close relationship, Mike sort of thinks of Bob as a younger brother.

We are beyond lucky to have such good friends.

Btrflynet, a snowfall of pink, fuzzy slippers would be a riot. That plus Jo's lovely idea of music videos of Bob's favorites make a perfect combination.

Bob goes to the doctor this afternoon. I'll post here with any news.

@djjd62,
Djjd, how true about not enjoying being dropped in the garage. Ouch magnified!!

Littlek, You know the old coot would just melt into a puddle of joy if you could find you way back here one of these days.

Endymion, your kind thoughts are so welcome. Surprising, isn't it, how many friends we all have and truly care for without ever having met in person. It is a priceless gift from the internet.

@shewolfnm,
Wolfie, the minute Jillian plays her first little song, please send it to us right away. Both of us will treasure it, but Bob has such a spot in his heart for her and she seems to have decided that he is her grampa, that her first piano peice will be treasure above all the others.

Update -
Diane asked me to post.

Bob said he would need a wheelchair to get to the clinic. (We had gotten a walker the other day, Monday, I think, which I gather he has been using, and Diane was waiting until today for a prescription for a wheelchair, for insurance purposes.) So Diane drove to the same place to get a w.chair, and when she got home had found Bob on the floor, and he had hurt his back. A friend had some pain pills. Anyway, today's clinic appt. is cancelled, and they'll go next week.

I just talked to Bob - he's a little confused, but still articulate, and the pill(s) are taking effect. (I promised ice cream in the morning..)

Diane expressed a need to hibernate..

@ossobuco,
Oh he fell, that's not good. I guess, Bob shouldn't be left alone right now,
which is easier said than done, right? It's too bad that the clinic appointment
had to be cancelled, hopefully he manages to get to a doctor early next week,
if not an ambulance might help.

My heart goes out to all of you, hang in there, better times are ahead!

@ossobuco,
I feel a sudden need to hibernate, too.

Oh, I just bet he's articulate. He's never been otherwise.
