Back to the Symphony


Is it transcribed for ukulele?
It was nice to be back at the Symphony yesterday afternoon in our fourth row seats, sitting next to Betsy and Paul. Everything seemed the same, with changes.  Starting with the nice man who always took our $8 at the parking lot, and told us who won the Seahawk game afterwards. Now he's been replaced with a credit card machine. And where was that familiar old fellow in his big motorized wheelchair, who slept at the end of our row for years and years?

I wonder if anyone will notice when John and I finally stop showing up for the season opening?   Something like, I wonder what happened to that old couple who always ate granola bars at intermission that she brought in her purse?

The first half of the program was Beethoven's popular "Triple Concerto" for violin, cello and piano, starring some young, attractive soloists. Fun. But there was plenty of time to consider mortality (your own, and others) while sitting through the hour long Schubert Symphony # 9. It is called "The Great" because of its mighty length. 

These wonderful pictures were the other Sunday highlight.  Every Nana needs a smart-phone so she can show off to her friends right on the spot.
There's more cuties from their pumpkin patch trip I'll post later.  Thanks, Amanda!
