Of course this was a long time ago (I graduated high school & married in 1957 - Oops! ancient) uI had one of those little suitcase style record players. We had no money for records, but when I was combing the local thrift store for books for the kiddies, I came across a huge stack of quality 33 lp records of the classics. Wonderful orchestra, piano music. So I "spluged" and bought a nice selection. I really didn't know anything about the classics except that it was absolutely beautiful music and I loved it. I guess the owner (we were in a highly intellectual college community) was divesting himself of his lp collection in lieu of the new tapped recordings - who know. His house cleaning became our treasure trove.<br /><br />From that point on, we had lovely music to clean house by, to nap by, to cook by, etc. One of my son's favorites was the William Tell Overture of 1812. Another loved Beethoven's Fifth. And we truly loved Franz Liszt: Liebestraum/Liebesträume No. 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAhb16QnWhw<br /><br />I say all this because even if you don't have children with the patience to attend a live performance or the money for tickets, you can bring the beauty into your home and sprinkle it throughout your day. Enjoy the beauty and savor the reverence of the holy music that Handel composed.

Now I am worried that they would not sit still for music. We have had success with watching the Nutcracker with one of them last year but since tickets for 4 of us to go to Nutcracker were $250 this year, I did not have the funds to also spring for Messiah.Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928381603385856463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-87627012890095896202013-11-15T01:32:14.344-05:002013-11-15T01:32:14.344-05:00Lady Liberty: A Biography is the book that I would...Lady Liberty: A Biography is the book that I would like to give to my grand kids.nicolesenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122807268192715620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-20790058962445397892013-11-15T01:30:16.613-05:002013-11-15T01:30:16.613-05:00I have seen a live performance of the Messiah and ...I have seen a live performance of the Messiah and have sung in a school choir that performed the Messiah.nicolesenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122807268192715620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-1070619668923697262013-11-14T19:07:20.596-05:002013-11-14T19:07:20.596-05:00To answer the other Question, We recently met, aut...To answer the other Question, We recently met, author/illustrator/artist Matt Phelan at an event and had him sign our copy of Bluffton, which is a graphic novel about Buster Keaton in his childhood, through the eyes of a fictional friend.
