Bart's Birthday Party is sure to be a Musical Extravaganza
Quote:
I can attest to that too! When my wife and I were at Bart & Meta's house in November, they provided for us, the music of a Cellist, Violinist, Pianist, Upright Bassist, French Hornist, and an almost full orchestra, right there in Bart & Meta's living room. All assembled in the front of the room - (and their sound streaming from Bart's stereo speakers which did sound marvelous, by the way.) Well, Maybe the musicians were not really in the room; but with Bart's stereo stuff, you could close your eyes and almost believe they were there. The treat of the week however was when Bart arranged for a world class musician to meet us in downtown Ghent and play Bach's Toccata an Fugue in D minor right there on a street corner on his Accordion. - True story - and you wouldn't believe the sound that guy got from that Accordion. It was nothing short of fantastic. A Bach Toccata & Fugue on an accordion - Wow! The accordionist did have a cup sitting on the ground in front of him into which it behooved us to place coins,. . . . . now, I really don't think Bart arranged for him to be there. But it really was a treat. Bart and Meta are wonderful hosts and I wish I could be there to share Bart's birthday with him.
