I just realized I had no Sunday @ Noon or Sunday Evening Music yesterday. I’m going to blame it on jet lag combine with a huge does of OldBoeBrain. I hope you will too. :-)

I have a lot of catching up to do. Normally I have posts ready to go days in advance, but I’ve fallen behind. We’ll see if I can manage to get things together and put up anything of interest.

What? What’s that you say? I frequently post things that wouldn’t be considered “of interest”?

Well, yes, there’s that. Oh well!

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day at Montalvo for the Symphony Silicon Valley concert that featured Lisa Vroman, with doses of Strauss (as in the waltz composer) and Sondheim. I get the feeling Ms. Vroman can sing a variety of styles. She sang opera in the first half (the “Jewel Song” from Faust), and she sang “I Feel Pretty”, “The Glamorous Life” (a song cut from “A Little Night Music”), “Send in the Clowns” and finally, as an encore, sung to her husband of exactly one year (yes, she was singing to him on their anniversary) “A Wonderful Guy”. We played “Die Fledermaus Overture”, “Roses from the South Waltz”, “Tritsch-Tratsch Polka”, “An Der Schönen”, “Blauen Donau”, “Emperor Waltz, the waltz from “The Sleeping Beauty Suite”, “Unter Donner Und Blitz – Polka, and encored with “Radetzky March”.

Yeah … tons ‘o waltzes. But no one danced.
