And rounding out the top "three"....AZ bags the bronze!!

[Publius]

I started with "Brahms, Part 1: The Early Years", and I followed with Brahms, Part 2: The Chamber Music Years".

On Friday, it's "Brahms, Part 3: The Orchestral Years", which will cover the German Requiem through the Third Symphony. I hope I make all this stuff understandable to our folks.

[AZamericonnie]

Safely home indeed & didn't overheat.:)

A lizard & two bunny's on the way.

Hope yours is convenient & avoid construction! lol

[Conservateacher]

Thank you Kathy and Az for the nice tribute. Jarrod and others like him leave too soon. He came from an awesome Christian family and are assured of his future in Heaven.

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again and ((HUGS))

No real good news today....it's been quashed by Executive Priviledge....and the weather has taken a turn too.



But on the bright side, I'm patient.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul. ((HUGS))

[luvie]

...and God rest your soul
Spc Jarrod Lallier...
Condolences to your friends and family.

I look forward to it with great anticipation, Publius! I'll be late signing on Friday - taking my youngest son to the Friday Evening Parade at Marine Barracks Washington.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you have a good day? Lots of lessons? Has it stopped raining so Linda can walk without getting wet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Permission Granted!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Conservateacher. and welcome to the Canteen.

Jarrod is one of our heroes. We thank him for his service to our country. Prayers of peace for him and his family.

[Kathy in Alaska]

My straight shot is closed until October. I have to do some zigging and zagging to get back to my way home after the construction zone.

And I am off to tackle the trip home now. Be back in a bit.

[HiJinx]

God Bless him and his family, Kathy,
Prayers up....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Now that I’m home I can see your “black cloud” guy. LOL!!

I’m hoping to build on today’s main news....we will see.

Stay dry!!

[luvie]

I don’t know about you, Big Guy, but I’m just about OUT of patience with these clowns! GRR! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...looking forward to more Brahms.

[Kathy in Alaska]

"...taking my youngest son to the Friday Evening Parade at Marine Barracks Washington."

I'm jealous....a couple pictures would be nice. d:o)

[Publius]

The best way to handle all that Brahms music is to bookmark the thread, and come back any time after to just wallow in the music.

[AZamericonnie]

Happy Birthday Darkwing & Many happy returns of the day! *Hugs*

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

I expect to come away with a few pictures. I attended the Friday Evening Parade once before - it is an awe-inspiring ceremony.
