yes. it crossed my mind that thal might send my e-mail directly to himself and make me the laughingstock of pianoforum. i can't help it. once a year - i'm completely crazy. (half the year i'm half crazy). it just came to me. why don't i ask for the e-mail instead of searching for it. then, i thought - as i was writing the e-mail 'handsomegit' hemmm. i'm never heard of that kind of e-mail address before. ok. go with theflow. pretty soon i was thinking 'why did i ask this question?' i don't even know why. perhaps to let him know that after all these years (after the tchaikovsky competition) i still remember him.
don't want to make hubby jealous though. he can't play piano and doesn't even like to listen for more than a few minutes. but we listened to cincinnati pops yesterday for a long time. they had a pianist playing something (what was it?) piano/violin something. anyway- i asked m y hubby why the cincinnati pops were slightly better than the philly pops. he said 'well, the bass drum is larger and sounds better.' how can he know that? so, i'm not really looking for the handsomest pianist - although thalbergmad certainly does fit the description, too - and if he wasn't after paris - and i wasn't married - i'd climb over airplane seats to sit near him. and, he's very knowledgeable about music , too, and can find any piece you ask for. that's very attractive as well.
