Q: Did you recently receive a blogging award?
A: Yes! It was bestowed upon me by the fabulous Charles. It's a Premios Dardo Award, which comes with the following stipulations:

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person that has granted the award and his or her blog link.
2. Pass the award to at least 5 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

So, here are my blogs that I award my own Premios Dardo Awards:

Moving J-Wards

One Claude Hooper Bukowski

Yarn Tootin

Musical Assumptions

A View From The Podium

Q: Has your blog been discovered by Robert Franz's publicity person?
A: Yes!

Hi, Robert's publicity person! Robert is awesome. And you too must be awesome if you've dug around and found my blog. It's not the most interesting blog in the whole world. It's mostly me rambling about orchestra stuff, and breast cancer stuff, and restaurant reviews, and whatnot. But we love him here in Boise! Or, at least I do. But not in a creepy I'm-going-to-stalk-you-and-possibly-mail-you-an-ear kind of way. More in the he's-an-excellent-musician-who-gets-great-results-while-still-maintaining-the-joy-of-music-making kind of way. Yay, Robert Franz!

Q: Is it true you won, through sheer luck, a whole bunch of personal training sessions?
A: Yes! And I will have the fantastic Connie as my personal trainer. She's pretty intense, and I am certain I will die.

ROBERT FRANZ!

Ha. I have now solidified my status as a weirdo in the eyes of Robert's publicity person, and probably Robert as well. It's the C string. It drives you nuts after awhile.

Q: Is this weekend's Philharmonic concert worthwhile?
A: Yes! The choir is great. I especially like the "Joan of Arc" girls. The movie is pretty extraordinary. Do attend!
