"Ahh, how delightful... I am jealous, live is so inspiring when it comes to classical music... lets you wander to a different place and time... Enjoy!! " Yes, very well put, Leslie. After the concert, the main group of performers, board members of the Tuckamore Festival (my wife is vice-chair) and invited guest came over to our house for the reception. They had two violins and a cello, and just before they left performed for those of us who were left. I have never been so close to such a trio and was quite moved/inspired by the piece they played.

Wow weren't you the lucky duck!! Good to be married to friends in high places...
You will hear this ensemble of music when you wander into the rooms for many years to come, almost as if it were coming to you in a dream... delightful for you both...

My parents had an indoor swimming pool, the housing of which had almost perfect "shoe box" acoustics (a happy architectural accident). On several occasions we had musical groups performing in there (while the audience floated in the pool or was otherwise situated around the building) but the most memorable to me was a string quartet who played Mozart and Haydn for us for almost 3 hours (we had the pool temperature cranked up to about 30˚C, but the outside temperature was about -30˚C, and every now and then someone would open the door to let some fresh air in, creating a delirious fog that fit the music beautifully). The only problem was the humidity and temperature caused the instruments (the cello and bass in particular) to go out of tune every 10 or 15 minutes, so they had to keep re-tuneing.
We had hired the quartet for a 3-hour gig, but they wound up staying all night, and, after refreshing themselves with a swim (one of them went outside for a roll in the snow first), they played some impromptu stuff that was also great. I'll never forget the beautiful tall long-haired red-head who played the bass cutting loose and playing the twelve-bar-blues in her bikini
Morning all. I have a unique Saturday morning breakfast when you arise to face this beautiful day. We shall call it out Mozart Special ............. treats from all over Europe shall greet you when you awaken. Enjoy.

Yery true, Leslie. We have a good sound system, but to have a trio in your livingroom play is a totally different sound than a CD.

What a unique experience, Bryan. Mozart and Haydn for us for almost 3 hours while you floated in a pool ............. yes, a unique experience indeed. Paix, mon ami.
