To my fellow musicians...
Even though we cannot be with each other and practice together, I hope that we can gather once again and create musical magic.

Have a Happy Holiday!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours...
Paula-Ann, Chris, Toni, Victoria and Arik with the newest family member, Ellie Cynthia !

I certainly want to wish everyone the best of the festive season. I'm sure many of us, even if we were not somewhat isolated, would be scouring YouTube for some seasonal favourites. Such is my poor education, it's only recently I discovered Schoenberg's Weihnachtsmusik. Basically variations on Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming, with a little bit of Silent Night. Old German stuff. I believe the term "Weihnacht" goes back before Christian times. There are funny YouTube links where people say: Schoenberg! You mean that master of dischord wrote something melodious? Yes. Here it is for a kind of one-man trombone ensemble.
