Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs Kings

[simon IC]

I’m just now sitting to watch the game. I spent the evening watching a performance of Prokofiev’s 5th Symphony. A very Russian piece of music. This was the piece he wrote at the close of WWII. Anyway, thought maybe Elk would appreciate that.

My dad was a high school music teacher. He taught me "Peter and the Wolf" just about note for note.

Yikes.

Before the intermission, they did this historical mixed media thing with voice actors with a biography of Prokofiev, punctuated with snippets of lots of different of his music. They played parts of Peter and the Wolf. Then after intermission the full 5th.

I’m pretty glad I didn’t stay home to watch this mess.

Former music teacher here... impossible to find a non-elementary job so I switched to high school math. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring were what started it all. I went and saw Coco tonight. Best Pixar film in a while.

Wow .... I have been thumping the "Don't get over confident" drum for some time, but now I want to mic it through a PA! This team is trying to be too cute! Grrrr ....

Eh, I’m not going to get to pessimistic if they go ona slump here. I think they’ll make the playoffs comfortably, and then the real fun will start.

Beautiful compositions! I'm a Bach fan myself. Air on a G string, Jesu Joy, Choral Prelude in E, Sleepers Awake, and of course, Toccata and Fugue in D minor. On topic, I hate it when this team thinks they are the Oilers in the '80's! Much to many fans dismay, this is not a "run and gun" team. They perform much better with a "lunch bucket - bump and grind" mentality.
