SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
Monday, July 9, 8 PM Pacific (11 PM Eastern)
Broadcast live at KING-FM
Mendelssohn: Andante and Allegro Brilliante for Piano Four Hands in A, Op. 92
Orion Weiss, piano
Anna Polonsky, piano
Orion and Anna met at the festival a few years ago, and now theyre married. Anna is tiny, and it always surprises me that she can get such a huge sound from the piano. This is a new piece for me, but Mendelssohn tends to be entertaining.
Beethoven: Serenade for Flute, Violin and Viola in D, Op. 25
Lorna McGhee, flute
Ida Levin, violin
David Harding, viola
Lorna is a tiny flutist from Scotland by way of Vancouver, and shes a delight. David is also from Vancouver, so we have a two-thirds Canadian trio for this piece. This is early Beethoven attempting to channel Mozart.
de Falla (arranged by Maréchal): Suite populaire espagnole
Bion Tsang, cello
Inon Barnatan, piano
I heard Inon play at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, and he was impressive. This is a new piece for me.
Ravel: Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in A minor
Augustin Hadelich, violin
Edward Arron, cello
Jeremy Denk, piano
Jeremy is one of Americas great pianists and the single best lecturer on American composer Charles Ives that Ive ever encountered. He views me as an amateur and a pretentious fool, so he doesnt particularly like to talk music with me. But he also treats some of his collaborators as amateurs. Everyone knows that its just his personal style, and theyre used to it. When youre as talented as Jeremy, you have the right to pretty much behave as you want. I found his satirical piece about Sarah Palin at his blog to be offensive, however. This piece is a good example of the modern French style from the Twenties.

No, just my downstairs neighbor. The flags are still there.
I think Linda likes the new place better than the old one, as i have brought all the rugs over there. She is not amused by the slippery laminate floors now that the rugs are gone!
And it has been VERY sunny! :-)

Hi, Kathy! ((((hugs))))
I hope so. It always seems to miss us, like we’re the hole in the donut. LOL!

Hey there! I was stationed at JBLM (when it was just Fort Lewis) from May of 1985 until I ETSed out of the Army in November 1986. I was part of HHT 3/5th Cavalry, communications section.
Today, my house is about 1 1/2 miles from the eastern edge of JBLM. We see the C-17’s doing their touch-and-go’s and maneuvers, the ocaisional P-3 Orions that the Navy sometimes flies out of there, and we can sometimes hear the weapons fire and occasional artillery fire when the troops practice. Yes...they even do it late at night. Not that I’m complaining...it’s the sound of freedom.
JBLM is my neighbor...and I like it!

FREEDOM ISNT FREE!
Freedom Isnt Free
By DDR Kelly Strong USCG (ret)
I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, And then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square and eyes alert Hed stand out in any crowd.
Eternal Father, Strong to Save (Click)
I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many died on foreign soil How many mothers tears? How many pilots planes shot down? How many died at sea How many foxholes were soldiers graves? No, freedom isnt free.
Taps (Click)
I heard the sound of Taps one night, When everything was still, I listened to the bugler play And felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times That Taps had meant Amen, When a flag had covered a coffin. Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives, I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington, No, freedom isnt free.

Hi Hoagy! Thanks very much for your service to our Nation. I feel much the way you fe3el about Ft. Lewis regarding NNMC Bethesda, now the Walter Reed National Medical Center - joint based Walter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda. My father served there from 1956-60 and 1965-69. I remember walking through the corridors there and sitting in his office as a nine year old.
After my tour in 'Nam, I served there 70-71. We both had the honor of raising the Stars and Stripes there - he as Junior Officer of the Day in the 50's, me as the Chief of the Day in 70 and 71. (By the time I got to NNMC in 1970, the COD watch had devolved on to E-5's and the Chief's were standing the JDO watch.)
Again, thanks for your service - our great Nation needs guys like you now more than ever!
