      Thanks, jon. She actually did get the the service for the new place today. It starts on Wednesday. I have to insure the breakers are turned off by Wednesday morning to prevent a power surge. The cashier's check was sent USPS tracking on Saturday to the buyer's agent. I have papers to sign. My car should arrive any day now from NY (the Bronx, lol). I bought it after seeing an ad at Cars.com. It was last driven in Montana but it's got only 24k miles, 1 owner, and clearly it was garaged. I don't have the car yet but it's insured. So it won't be long now.

        When I was young, Igor Stravinsky and Dmitri Shostakovich were living composers. Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Prokofiev, and Ravel were "recent." In high school I was playing piano works by Barber, who was still around.

        I saw Arthur Rubinstein give a concert in Miami. He debuted with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1900.

              Wow. I saw Leon flesherโ€™s last Carnegie hall concert. His first was when Germany still occupied France.

              But that speaks to his age, not mine.

                I heard Rubinstein in concert too. With orchestra. Of course, I was a wee teen then.

                  In 1970 I entered high school. Seventy years before that was the year 1900. As a freshman, thinking back to 1900 seemed incomprehensible. This year I'll be 70.

                  The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

                    I guess we're the same age. I come of age (70) next month.

                    And about Fleisher, he was a judge at one of Piano*Son's competitions in Norfolk.

                      I am younger than Biden and Trump.
                      I don't find that to be particularly encouraging.
