Friday 13th January
G and I ventured out for some light entertainment to meet Mozart at the local library (one of nearly 1000 free events in our 4 county libraries in first 3 months of the year!). It was a one man show, dressed in period costume, and telling Mozart's story, including live piano recitals (how I wish I could play like that) and opera excerpts on an iPod (we don't think that was authentic). It was rounded off nicely with an enormous birthday cake (well he is nearly 257) which he kindly shared. Fortunately he pronounced Mozart "moat - zart" and we didn't have to listen to "mo- zart" all evening. It was funny when he was explaining why it was easier to write opera for Italian than German. We will be looking out for more events like this and certainly returning to "Meet Joplin" in a few weeks time.
