Bravo

Eric and I once again found ourselves at the symphony this week, enjoying some classical tunes. It was an all Berlioz program, including the Roman Carnival which evoked for me the scene in Mary Poppins at the end of "Spoonful of Sugar" when the toys and closet doors are all going crazy. It could easily have been the soundtrack for the scene. I loved it.

The piece that ended the evening was another rousing number and towards the end of it Eric pointed out to me a girl of about seven who was in one of the seats above and behind the stage. She was sitting on her father's lap and "guest conducting": waving her arms wildly with a huge grin on her face. She was having a fabulous time and putting on an excellent show. We watched her, grins spilling across our faces, for the duration of the show.
