SHARE MUSIC.

above is a video of the canadian tenors, being surprised on the oprah show with celine dion.. i just got home from seeing this performed live by them. hmmazing.

every friday, my grandpa and i had this tradition of going to the symphony. he's a supporter of the symphony and always has front row seats.. so of course, it's always a real treat.. we would dress up, and we'd meet at the symphony.. and right after, we'd head to sals for some cheese nips! probably the best part about attending! i looove the symphony.. not a lot of people know this, but i'm really big into jazz and classical music, and anything with strings! ohh yeah baby, love it. it helps that i took piano lessons (quit! haha), and i've been going to these things since i was 8. the opera, ballet - i've been lucky enough to have a grandfather who's made me cultured.

since my grandpa's walking started failing, we haven't been going. it was just too much walking for him to endure (about 6 months now).. and now; he's starting dementia. his mind is wandering, and he's been in the hospital for six weeks, bed-ridden.. and thus, about 10 shows have been missed.. i was asked to take the tickets today, and so.. i did. the christmas symphonies have always been my favorite, and i haven't missed one in like 5 years.. and i'm really glad i got to see this one. i nearly balled my eyes out when they performed bob dylan's, "forever young".. but i vouche to keep this tradition going.. because even if my grandpa's not there.. he's still there. he always used to try and make me get wine or champagne, and i refused.. because i was the good granddaughter! tonight, i devoured the drink special - egg nog w/ amber rum.


sold out 3 nights in a row.. meaning 7500 people have seen them, yayurr!


christmas in a cup!

i live, i live, i live, i live for symphonies.
