  2. Thanks, John, for the reference to Barber’s Adagio for Strings. I thought I was the only one who went out of their way to find out the name of this piece. I finally found out when it was played at the Royal Albert Hall for The Proms in tribute for the fallen on 9/11. I wept.

  4. Good morning John, hope you’re feeling better. What makes these shows so cool is the casual vibe you guys carry. Reminds me of sitting in a shot and beer joint on the South Side bullshitting with a few buddies over a couple of cheap beers and a few shots of whiskey. Yes, cheap beer like Miller High life. Not microbrewery quaff. The cheap stuff. Out of a tap. And a few good cigars if it’s an old timer bar. And whatever baseball game is on television. Yes, even The Cubs. I wouldn’t need any transcription for that and I don’t need a transcription for this. Keep up the good work. Glad to be a subscriber.

  5. Good listening today. Brought back some old memories.
    I’ll have to watch Platoon again, a powerful movie.
    That was the first time I heard Adagio for Strings, beautiful.

    Several times in the mid to late 70’s I went to the Moming Dance Theater.
    My college roommate was a friend of Jackie Radis.
    Creative dancing performances ahead of its time.

    Hope you are feeling better, John!
