A great surprise!

Learned that my 10 year old grandson who lives near me is interested in studying violin, and maybe joiing chorus @ middle school, coming up!!! He refers to classical as 'my, Grandma Ellie's' music!!!

I think I'll write a thank you to my radio station, because he hears 'my' music when he's here. HOW GREAT is this???

3. Classical music is contagious.

And there's NO CURE.

I am grateful every day for the music my parents played. Much of it from the Columbia Record Club, and lots from the BSO and Boston Pops.

Ask me anything about the music of Leroy Anderson. Arthur Fiedler LOVED it.

One of the best gifts in the world. A lifetime of enjoyment.

4. My grandkid, now age 12, breaks my heart. His favorite instrument is also violin. He studies violin, tuba, trombone

and keyboard. Bach, and what not..... The school music teacher says he is a prodigy.

The problem? I love Bluegrass. It would make my heart sing to hear him play a Vassar Clements, "high, lonesome" fiddle.
