The LPO set off yesterday for a two-and-a-half week tour to the Far East and, briefly, nearer East. They've just arrived in Seoul and will be playing there in a few days' time. Then off to Hong Kong, Taipei and finally Abu Dhabi. I would like to offer a special Ginger Stripes prize to whoever it was who invented Skype.
While the Tomcat's away, the mice need cheering up, so we are watching Charlie Chaplin on Youtube. Here is that famous scene from The Great Dictator involving Brahms's Hungarian Dance No.5.

That's a wonderful scene, and some of us don't need to watch youtube to remember it. There is another lovely dance scene in the gold rush (?) involving a couple of bread rolls, though possibly not to music relating to the title of one's book.
I'm worried, though. It's a bit sad watching youtube quite so much.....
oh, give over, ViV! I already have a mother-in-law.
PS - to any family members online, that last comment was generic, not specific.
As one musician widow to another, (Robin is also away for 2 1/2 weeks, but he's in South America), watch as much YouTube as you like. I will be, especially as our T.V. packed in last night!!
