We just discovered Classical Up Close: musicians from the Oregon Symphony decided that there needed to be more free music. So they started playing concerts around the city. This season just finished, but put it in your back pocket for next year. https://www.classicalupclose.org/
I'm sure you know this book. It's my very favorite John Holt. Never Too Late about learning the cello. I might re-read it this summer! https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/573006
Happy Anniversary!
Ok four things! Your new book is well underway! Hip hip!
I have been hunting all over the house for my (very very old) copy of Never Too Late. Can't find it! Funny story though: in my head, he was 60 when he took up cello. Because when I first read the book I was all of 27 years old, and I remembered that he learned to play later in life. Um yeah. AT FORTY. He started at 40. That's where my 27yo brain filed "later in life." Lollllll
Happy Anniversary!!! I’m so glad you had a beautiful day. Totally understand about the shock from moving. We moved to FL after living in Alaska for basically our whole lives. Felt like a bomb went off in our lives. We are glad we did it but wow it’s been an adjustment and things are still settling into place. Required a lot of trust and resilience.
Oh wow, Susanne, it’s so lovely to get a juicy update from you! And thank you for sharing your friend’s poem. Riches everywhere.
Two things, well three!

Happy anniversary!!! And many happy returns of the day.
