- | ## ☺ Notes ☺ | ||
- | |||
- | While I agree with Stephen Smoliar' | ||
- | |||
- | Unfortunately, | ||
- | |||
- | For the first movement of the Symphony, I found it particularly interesting to watch Michael Tilson Thomas, as a few minutes in, he caught my attention when he practically kicked up his heels to do a Peanuts-style "happy dance." | ||
- | |||
- | Midway through the larghetto I was further distracted when I noticed one of the patrons a few rows up and to the far left was wearing industrial safety goggles. Huh? Perhaps a precaution against invisible lasers emanating from the brass section? Stranger still, it appeared that this gentleman had inserted a flourescent orange highlighter behind the goggles, extending upright from the nose, somewhat like a bright gold antenna. Mystifying! While it's possible that this person was wearing a spy pen or some other sort of flash recorder, it was hardly worn in an inconspicuous fashion, so my conclusion is that this was really just another San Francisco eccentric out for a night at the symphony. | ||
