A very interesting article.

Looking at the campaign from Australia, it seems to me that it consists mainly of insults.
I ask myself, is it the person who uses the most foul language who will win the
presidency? I hope not!

Agnes.

I am glad you don't have to sit there for 2 weeks.

Agnes.

Agnes Selby

Good luck! You never know, it might be interesting!!!!

Happy Birthday to Donald.

Our whole family would like to wish you the very "bestest". I hope you will
enjoy the day.

Regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

Thank you, Donald. I do remember when you first wrote about this young boy
and only recently wondered what had happened to him. We can expect great music from
him in the years to come.

Regards,
Agnes.

Americans are rather privileged as they DON'T have to vote!!!

In Australia voting is compulsory!!!!

Agnes thanks-a Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours! Regards, Len

Thank you, Lenny, I hope you and your dear wife will have a good and healthy 2016.
Are you planning any travels?

Agnes.

Agnes Selby

Agnes, so good to hear from you. Happy New Year to you as well. I look at the posts every day, John. Unfortunately, I have no comment to make. However, I am fascinated by the electioneering in the USA as we do not have such excitement in Australia. Compared to America, our elections are rather bori...

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Just ordered this CD plus the all Beethoven recital. I have the Hungerford Vanguard PS and am interested to see what difference a live venue makes to Bruce Hungerford's playing of these sonatas. Like Agnes, I don't know anyone here who has heard of Bruce Hungerford which is a great pity. Agnes, how...

Agnes Selby

Beautiful recording which spoke directly to my heart. I can't praise it enough. It arrived yesterday (Monday in Australia) and we have listened to the Beethoven twice. It is a great pity that Bruce Hungerford is unknown in Australia. In his youth only English performers were of any importance. I wel...

A recent piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer indicates that the Philadelphia Orchestra is sliding back into serious financial trouble. This is all despite the supposed "buzz" around the music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Attendance has been falling sharply, donations have also fallen off consider...

Agnes Selby

Have a good time, Lenny!!!

Happy birthday, may all your wishes come true. Enjoy the day.

It is a very frightening situation. A 15 year old Muslim boy shot a police accountant as he was leaving the police station after work two weeks ago. A number of people were shot in a city coffee shop. Threats are received daily at Catholic and Jewish schools and street preachers indoctrinate 12 year...

I just saw the Trump interview on CNN. The man has high praise for himself.

Agnes Selby

Amazing old man! After all, he is 78 years old. How does he manage such
a rigorous schedule?

Agnes Selby

Somewhere in America there is a man called Trump on his head he wears a blond hump under the hump there is little brain not much to cause him any pain. The pain will come when he is selected and more pain when he is elected. He will tell Putin "you are fired" and the woman Merkel, "you are not hired...

Agnes Selby

Lenny, enjoy your wonderful trip. There is much to be enjoyed!

Kind regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

She is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another explanation, Agnes, based on the most recent Pew research. Their data reveal that dissatisfaction with both political parties, normally found among "independents," has sharply risen in the last few months among "Republicans" and, particularly, among "independent leaning Republicans." This g...

Agnes Selby

How can a nattering twit like Agnes Selby think she has anything to say about American politics??? I seem to recollect that when they built that Sydney Opera House, it had no bathrooms. Good luck with that...!! Really. "A Nattering twit"? This is not part of this conversation and neither is the Syd...

Agnes Selby

How can this be happening? How can a clown like Trump(et) even aspire
to be President and is it possible that so many Americans would vote for him?

Agnes Selby

John F wrote:As David Brooks observed in a recent column, with Trump, ego is ideology.

I watched the entire "show". Yes, all that matters to Trump(et) is his ego.
How many times is he going to mention how marvellously clever he is making all that
fortune?

Also don't forget wikipedia, Agnes. Here is a "jumping off" page for string quartet ensembles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_string_quartet_ensembles And one for classical music trios. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Classical_music_trios ------ Thank you so much for your help.

Dear Lance,

Thank you very much for your great help. Your list gives me a lot of reading to do.
It is wonderful to have good friends.

Kind regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

Thank you Piston and John. It is much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

I would be most grateful if anyone could help me find biographical books
by chamber music artists. Thank you in advance.

Agnes.

Agnes Selby

Thank you, Lenny. I will.

Agnes Selby

Thank you, Lenny. It is a beautiful flower. I will see if I can get some seeds for it.

Regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

What a lovely house!!!!! And what is the name of the flower? No wonder you enjoy gardening in such beautiful setting. Our garden is now absolutely full of snowdrops. I will confess to you a terrible crime but it must stay between us and cannot go beyond these "walls". It could land us in jail!!! :lo...

Agnes so it's your husband who's the gardener-all this time I thought it was you! Regards, Len

I am too but he is the REAL gardener, I am just an assistant.

I think of Philadelphia as home away from home. Somehow, I was fortunate to meet the nicest people. I also love the Rhoden statues and the great museum and the river flowing so beautifully with trees surrounding it and flowering in the Spring. Perhaps it has changed but in my mind it remains the sa...

I am sorry about your darling little fish but the heron is beautiful and majestic. How did you manage to take a photo of him? Well, yes, New York is fascinating and noisy. But just think how many films were made with stories centered on Philadelphia. I think of Philadelphia as home away from home. S...

Agnes Selby

Snow fell on the outskirts of Sydney and children did not attend school but played in the snow. Roads were closed and as for me personally, it was mid-winter Philadelphia all over again. Agnes I had no idea-we face conditions like this when we go to the superb Philadelphia Flower show every March-c...

Agnes Selby

A wonderful review, Donald. I wish I had been there.

Regards,
Agnes.

Agnes Selby

In what has so far been a relatively decent summer today it's gonna reach into the middle 90's-ouch! Glad we got that rain yesterday morning-schlepping hoses around today would be madness. Hope our old central air conditioning can take it-appropriately last night we watched an American Experience s...

Is this true?

"People deserve the leaders they voted for".

This week's metrofocus had something on it--she wasn't a recluse by any means according to the interview-had many friends and social activities in NYC: http://www.thirteen.org/metrofocus/watch/ Regards, Len She lived a full and successful life. She is still alive aged 88 but she is blind and deaf.

Agnes Selby

Of course not. But it does confuse matters, since it was written first. I hope you are right John F. "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a classic. For high school students in many countries it is required reading. Atticus Finch is the perfect father and a perfect man with deep social understanding and tole...

Agnes Selby

Will the "Watchman" kill the "Mockingbird?"

Agnes Selby

Trump's statement about Mexican migrants reveals the "hate" factor which most people like to embrace. If you look at history you will find that people "love to hate". Crafty leaders have always found hatred a very important ploy in wars. I likened his speech referring to the Mexicans the same ploy H...

Agnes Selby

I can only go on what I see in the newspapers and on TV. I see that Trump has chosen a mighty weapon - HATE. It worked for Hitler and seems to be working for Trump. He is "trumpeting" against a minority, something people have carried in their hearts and did not dare to express. So did Hitler and it ...

Thank you John F. I have never seen such a cat.

I love hearing about Babe. How lovely about your dog sensing Babe's problem and giving her a kiss. My daughter's cat, Mushi is blind in one eye. He no longer gets into fights and spends most of his time lying in Nick's or Anna's bed. (my grandkids). He is a black cat with one shiny eye. He is gorgeo...

Thank you, Lenny. All is well here. It is the beginning of winter and at times
I feel I am back in Philadelphia.

Very beautiful, Lenny.

Very beautiful, Lenny! Reminds me of our garden in Laurel Lane, Haverford, Pa. Many years ago. Regards, Agnes.
