I took Asher to the Powell Symphony Hall yesterday for his first symphony concert. It was a family concert for kids four and up. The pieces were all based on stories that somehow involved fire. The concert included Beethoven's overture to
Prometheus, Manuel De Falla's
Love, the Magician, and Stravinsky's
The Firebird. Again, live orchestra performance are so far superior to recordings, that it's not worth talking about. Just go to the symphony and enjoy being enveloped in sound, rhythm, and energy.
Asher liked it, but it was during nap time so he was a bit restless. I warned him before we went into the hall that some of the music is very loud and that he shouldn't be scared, but that he could hold my hand if he wanted. Well, that really freaked him out and as we climbed the stairs to the balcony to find our seats (outside of the actual hall now) he covered his ears and told me how scared he was that it was loud. He's a cute little man.

I love that you took him to do that :) He sure loves you!
Thanks for "leaving praise".
he is a cute little man and you're a cute little father.
That's very kind, Raina, but I prefer to be described as "dead sexy" rather than "cute" and "little". Or at least "bearded". It's kind of the same as dead sexy, right?
when i hear the words "dead sexy", i think of fat bastard from austin powers sooooo......little is much more fitting than fat bastard. sorry to burst your ego, er, bubble. ;)
