If you could have heard it

I wish I could describe last night's Boise Philharmonic concert. Lola and I attended.

I cannot do it justice. The most exciting part was the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3, Barry Douglas the soloist. Glorious, thrilling, brilliant. About the best I can do.

What a blessing to be there. That concerto is one I have two recordings of. I've heard it many, many times. And Lola has heard it, too. But the truth is there is nothing like hearing it in person. Nothing like watching the music pour out of the pianist and the orchestra, to witness their love of the music, their work to bring it to life. Nothing like it.

And better still, to sit by Lola all through it.
