A Programming Note
My two most hated pieces of classical music are Ravel's Bolero and Pachelbel's Canon. Trite. Overplayed. Boring.
Tonight at dress rehearsal I saw "Little Bolero Boy" on the program. Imagine my horror when the orchestra started playing "Little Drummer Boy" set to the percussive background of "Bolero". My reaction: Yuck.
I love "Little Drummer Boy", being the mother of my own little drummer boy. But this puts a whole new spin on it.

I really love Canon in D. When you first told me it was not on your all time favorites list I was stunned. And to think, I've got an instruction in my will that Canon be played multiple times during my funeral and graveside services.
