"I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it."
Well, for once I am following my own very good advice about listening to more good music instead of more bad news. Today and yesterday, I have been listening to Lucille Chung's piano transcriptions of Saint-Saëns' music, and it's making my time in the car pretty happy indeed. It's also giving me a new and deeper appreciation of Camille Saint-Saëns, who, like his music was complex, multifaceted, a brilliant human mixture of harmony and dissonance.
Have you given yourself some very good advice lately?
Are you following it? Try it, it just might make you happy.

I am going to take you up on that thought. That will be my mission tonight - to give myself some good advice and follow it. Thanks for the nudge, Ysabel!

As much as you enjoy all things French, I recommend your listening to Lucille's CD of the Saint-Saëns. It is magnificent... and it's nice to hear the piano minus the orchestra. It makes me feel closer to how the composer "thought" his way through the music as he created it.
