New Little Friend

This cute little creature is what my husband surprised me with for my birthday and Christmas put together present. I’m pretty excited. I named it Claire and spent the better part of Sunday at my computer importing music. What’s on my ipod, you wonder? A little Gerald Finzi for clarinet played by Richard Stoltzman, a few Goyescas and Spanish Dances by Granados, played by Alicia de Larocha, and a LOT of choral music: Rachmaninoff, Lauridsen, and a huge number of various choral pieces sung by the Concordia College Choir. Even though I am not an alumnus of Concordia, I really believe they have one of the best sounding choirs ever. Period. So in the middle of the night, I ipod between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., folding laundry to beautiful music that everyone in the house is probably happy they can’t hear at that particular time of the morning.
