I met Yo Ma Ma briefly in my youth, …

I used to be a professional bassoonist before I moved into management. I'm now VP of Artistic Operations.

Yo-Yo's Bach isn't my favorite, but in general he lives up to the hype. Incredible musicians, incredible human. I've worked with him a few times. Just one of the nicest people ever.

Not a big fan of Lang-Lang. He is definitely style over substance. Yuja Wang is the real deal. No one can compete with her technical prowess and backs it up with incredible musicality.
That's cool! It's great to hear from someone who made it work for a living.

I saw itzak perlman perform a few years ago and it was other worldly.

Joshua Bell, Yoyo Ma both live up to the hype


Renee Fleming on the other hand was a big disappointment. She just seemed completely disinterested and her voice was just average
I re-listened to Joshua Bell's Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2. In that recording, it feels like he places more focus on using the entirety of his bow than on shaping his phrases. To be fair, that piece can be difficult to phrase, but Joshua Bell's rendition sounds careless to me. Maybe he isn't interested in a piano piece, which would be fair... but then why record it? I don't have the same problem with some of his more difficult repertoire, but it feels like more difficult pieces can be more straightforward to phrase in general (if the musician chooses the more straightforward way...).

PSA: If any of ya’ll decide to design a coffee grinder in the future, make sure you have both numerical markings on the adjustments, and provide a recommended range to start at for various coffee styles. If you don’t, just know that I will buy 2 of them then forcibly insert them into all of your available orifices so that your future customers don’t have to waste hundreds of grams of coffee finding the appropriate setting range by bounding it repeatedly when they probably could have hit it in 40g if you just reported the results of your own testing 🙃

Also, if you post a video manual for your grinder on its sale page, make sure it’s for that grinder and not for another grinder you carry that has entirely different and unrelated settings :upsidedownspin:

Long Beach Grand Prix weekend.
Looking over the FoH.
See a guy taking a picture of one of the waitresses butt. Age wise, she could be his granddaughter, possibly great-granddaughter.
Call security to escort them off the premises.
Guy gets irate.
Cops come.
Still escorted off the premises and not allowed to come back.
