last night cleveland orchestra - playing strauss's don juan, ades' concentric paths and brahms symphony #2. beethovan's Lenore as an encore. all marvelous!

from his website: Welcome to Emil Richards' web site... Have you ever wondered who played the bells on Scarborough Fair? Or the snaps on the Addams Family TV show, the bongos on the original Mission Impossible TV show, or the xylophone on the Simpons theme song? Well, Emil Richards, who has close to 2000 films and TV shows to his credit and the world's largest collection of percussion instruments (over 770 to date), played all those sounds. His credits span from Frank Sinatra, Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, The Beach Boys, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Marvin Gaye, George Harrison to over 750 more. He has played on Movie Scores written by Alfred Newman, Bernard Hermann, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Bill Conti, and Quincy Jones, Danny Elfman and 100's more. Emil has also written instruction books for mallet and percussion instruments and has a list of clinics he teaches at universities and music schools throughout the world. Welcome to his complete CD, DVD, Clinic and Discography web site. Have a look, listen, and above all enjoy the good vibes. WOW!!!!!

strike settled - miami concerts on as scheduled!!! My link

thanks alex for bringing this thread to light. it was a reminder for me to give snurdy a spin! great music!!!

i just got a letter today from the "miami residency director" of the cleveland orchestra thanking me for my support of the cleveland orchestra and stating that as of today the miami events are "proceeding as scheduled" and "ticket buyers should be confident that their purchase is not at risk." The letter also states that "in the event of a work stoppage we will imediately inform you about concert cancellations and rescheduling." stay tuned.

thanks for the heads up! i ordered ith with the new bing crosby and the gave me free shipping even though the promotion was over yesterday! gotta love mosaic!

so my wife and i are victims of the strike. i wonder if we will be reimbursed for our $140.00 per seat tickets.
