That sign contains a great deal of ambiguity. Does it invite all the non-body builders to relieve themselves somewhere else other than in the rest rooms? Saturday night's concert was fantastic. I especially enjoyed the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante and the interesting piece by Mussorgsky. It was well worth the long drive to Anchorage.

Thanks for playing.

I was surprised by how much everyone liked that Mussorgsky snippet. I think I forgot to pull my head out of the music and give it a good listen. I'm glad it was well-received, though.

I'd never heard the Prokofiev before, and I really enjoyed putting it together. There was one particular moment during rehearsal when everyone was plucking out the main theme of the first movement (such a militant, persistent motif!) and suddenly I was fully aware that the entire orchestra was in absolute perfect unison. It was as though a beast had come to life, and its energy was greater than the sum of its parts. Thrilling!

It didn't happen exactly like that during the performance, though--too bad. But I'm glad you enjoyed it, Keith. I think we did, too.

Hey! Halt right there! They don't want you dripping muscle shine grease on the floor. They'll slip and break their Stradivarios. Great sign. Abnormally chiseled people take heed!
