I have been sitting here looking at this blank page for a while now and it refuses to fill itself up on its own, dammitall! So I suppose I should pretend I have something to say when in reality I am utterly devoid of inspiration and no witty commentary is bursting forth from the bushes to rescue me either. I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend, I think mine went bye bye without even stopping to say hello, lol. Anyway, even without pithy commentary or newsworthy events upon which to expound, your intrepid Uncle still has Music a& Men up his sleeve to share with you all today.
As usual we begin the week with our regular Monday with Mozart feature which this week has a live recital recording by Dezső Ránki from 1997 with an all Mozart program. The play list includes:
Piano sonata K.282 0:00 Fantasia K.397 12:55 Allegro K.312 17:58 Piano sonata K.283 24:20 Adagio K.540 41:11 Piano sonata K.570 53:37 Adagio K.356 1:12:45
Over on my tumblr you may join Dezső Ránki along with the English Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Jeffrey Tate for their performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto Number 17 in G Major K 453.
To add visual joy to the beauty of the marvelous Mozart Music, this week's edition of Monday's Undies is posted down below with lots of lithesome lads 'lounging in their lingerie' waiting for you to cruise by. Meanwhile, over on my tumblr the Hottie of the Day! is very definitely "Thinking of You!". Thanks for the visit, see you again soon. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
My life this week feels just like that old Jackson Browne song. I really have to stop letting my days run smack dab into each other on a regular basis. It not only stresses me to no end and wears me out, it makes me really, really bitchy. (just ask Will, go on, I am sure he will gladly inform you of obstinatiousness) At any rate, I am tired but feel like I have made some progress. I have moved into the modern age with the purchase of my first smart phone. Granted it is not the latest and greatest, but I got a good deal and a great plan for unlimited everything for a great price. Now as Will is so apt to remind me, let's see if the proof is in the pudding as far as performance on their part is concerned.
As I changed carriers it was easier to get a new number than port my old one over which meant I had to get a hold of everyone by voice or text to give them the new number. I also had the enviable task (NOT!) of manually transferring all my contacts over to the new phone. I am happy to report after much tediousness that task is finally finished. I even managed to get some ringtones set. When I first began messing with the phone, I definitely thought it was smarter than I was, however it is a learning process. Just like with a new computer with an unfamiliar OS. I am sure I will get better at it as time goes by.
I was really excited to get an app that allows me to now carry Venice Classic Radio with me wherever I go. The radio in the car has an aux input that may allow me to hook a cable to the phone and play it in the car too. That would be sooooo cool to be driving in TX and listening to radio from Venice on the car radio. Awesome! I also like the talk to text ability that should come in handy when I want to get windy via text message. Anyway, so I have some good shit happening as well as the ton of crap that is on my plate to get done. However, one more shift and the Weekend in s mine, TFGIIFFF!!!!! (Thank Fucking God It Is Finally Fucking Friday!!!!!)
Now to soothe the savage beast that resides within all of us, I have some lovely pieces from one of the most prolific and inspirational composers of all time. Franz Joseph Haydn, the Father of the Symphony with over 100 to his name, was a friend to Mozart, a teacher of Beethoven and an inspiration to generation after generation of classical composers, musicians and enthusiasts even unto this day. In addition to his Symphonies, his Chamber works fill volumes as well as his Piano works. Posted down below are 4 Piano Sonatas by Haydn recorded live in Budapest in 2009 by Dezső Ránki. Included in the play list are Piano sonata n°33 Hob.XVI:20, Piano sonata n°58 Hob.XVI:48, Piano sonata n°60 Hob.XVI:50 and Piano sonata n°62 Hob.XVI:52. While over on my tumblr you may join the Van Swieten Trio for their performance of Haydn's Piano Trio in C major, Hoboken XV:C.
Then as always on Friday I like to feed your Fantasies in prep for a bodacious weekend and today is no different. You will find this week's edition of Fantasy Fuel down below chock full of sulty sexiness waiting to inspire your desire as you cruise down the page. Then the Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr will show you 'Ecstasy in XTG!'. Thanks for the visit see you again tomorrow for the Satiurday Evening Concert. Until next tiem as always, Enjoy!
After a week of erratic schedules and many hours, I am left feeling fairly exhausted. The strange schedule I have followed for the last week has fucked up my appetite and my body clock as well as my sleep schedule. Thankfully I am off until 10 tomorrow night so I can have a little time to recover. As it its, I spent most of today running to the bathroom, then climbing back in bed before having to run to the bathroom again. All that being said, I still have some Mozart with which to entertain you today.
You Monday with Mozart features an all Mozart Live Concert Recital from 1997 by Hungarian Pianist Dezső Ránki.The play list includes Piano sonata K.282; Fantasia K.397; Allegro K.312; Piano sonata K.283; Adagio K.540; Piano sonata K.570 and Adagio K.356. You may also hear Mozart's Piano Concerto Number 17 by joining Dezső Ránki and the English Chamber Orchestra over on my tumblr. You may also find the Blue Winged Angel who is your Hottie of the Day! to be of some interest also. Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow. Now I am headed back to bed! Until next time as always, Enjoy!
