The New Coffee Room

What are to expect when we elect criminals to offices of great power?

@Doctor-Phibes said in Good news for Mark and me:

Bloody hell, Mark - Spyro Gyra's a name I haven't heard in decades. Long ago I had a 10" single of Morning Dance, at least I think it was.

Smoooooooth.

One of my all time favorites!

Not so much having avoided crypto vs. avoiding a life of crime based on stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from people willing to carry out such atrocities.

This is the turntable I have. AMG Giro. Made in Germany. Spinning one the albums I bought last week. It sounds amazing.

I bought 3 LPs while on vacation.

Great photos! Sadly, it was cloudy here.

lol

A beautiful cover version.

Waltz Op64 No2 is memorized. Still polishing of course.

I'm seriously looking at Nocturne Op 9 No 1. I mean, it's the first Nocturne in the Henle Urtext. I already learned No 2 and had it memorized a few years ago. I will bring that one back under the hands at the same time I learn No 1.

I chose No 1 because of my previous mention of it being the first piece in the book, but also familiarity and it's a beautiful piece of music. It seems more than a little intimidating. I am going to play the first few bars tomorrow at lesson. I'm not sure this is the Nocturne that my teacher has in mind for me. He just asked if I had a published book of the Nocturnes and I did not. So I ordered one. lol

Oh well. We were discussing the purchase of a digital piano for my daughter and I couldn't wait any longer after several attempts to work out the logistics. She went to a local dealer, played several models from Roland, Yamaha, etc. She liked the Roland HP 704 the best. This is the same model that George and Ken have. I paid the dealer over the phone. Her new piano will be delivered this coming Monday.

It appears he does not visit here often these days.
