maestro..

I want to thank you for your good wishes, your incredible generosity and your friendship over so many years. I've learned much from your wealth of musical knowledge.
It's a mystery to me how I still have a life after 93 years and music has been one of the main reasons life has remains precious.
My best hugs to you and your wonderful bride for a safe, healthy and..forgive me..a Trumpless 2024.

Indeed, have a wonderful birthday. 93? I would never have guessed. Whatever you're doing, keep doing! (i.e., listening to great music, I still call it the best medicine, physically and mentally). We have all appreciated you on CMG. Many happy returns!

And happy birthday to you Belle. Where did Hubby take you for your special day? And Harris, di you also go out to celebrate?

Thanks, Holden. We went to a very nice restaurant in a quaint little village near here. It's nice to get the calls and sms on your birthday as that way you know you're still alive!!!

Tonight we watched "Diabolique" a French film from 1955 starring Simone Signoret. Described as a psychological horror/thriller it kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat with a restored print - the spouse was asleep before the end!! The writers were Boileau-Narcejac whose novel "From Amongst the Dead" provided the plot for Hitchcock's "Vertigo". That French duo was the French equivalent of Stephen King.

Congratulations, Harris, on reaching such a magisterial age. I share your hopes for 2024.

Belle, how could I have possibly missed your birthday? Well, as late as it is, I hope you had a wonderful and memorable time, which you apparently did! Congrats on another year. I hope they keep coming (for all of us).

Thanks, Lance, though I do admit to losing a certain amount of enthusiasm for lots of things with each passing year. The spirit is willing.....that sort of thing.
