Where Is . . .

. . . that piano???!!! . . . 

On very special occasions  
When celebrating felt right
This place we'd go
With ambience and wine
On a Saturday night
Caricatures hung on the walls
Eavesdropping on our most intimate moments
"I love you"

It was essential to go there
To mark the passage of time
Between the dates
We used to signify
The bond we shared and to dine  
Always served Angus A-one prime
To patrons of each and every persuasion
"I loved you"

But now that place is all gone
Where did our love go
Where is the ambience and
McCafferty's piano

While you eat
You're serenaded
By some local musician
Playing bad renditions of the popular songs
You sing along

And so it ended
Our passion
Somehow just faded away
And likewise too
That place we held divine
Became a dance club today
The memories come charging in
Sweet dreams and all the romancing related  
It's gone now  

But now that place is all gone
Where did our love go
Where is the ambience and
McCafferty's piano

OHO . . .

. . . and wine. . . 
(from http://www.elkrun.com/)
". . . nestled in the rolling hills of Frederick County surrounded by dairy and horse farms and fields of wheat and corn. The name “Elk Run” was chosen for a stream. The deed name to the property is the “Resurvey of Cold Friday.” It was a land grant from the King of England to Lord Baltimore. . . Using new world research and technology while maintaining the traditions and values of old world practices, Elk Run’s focus is on producing high quality wine from high quality grapes. Soils of schist and shale allow for deep roots and good drainage. Seven to eight hundred foot elevations help keep the vineyard safe from frost danger. Warm days and cool nights preserve the fruity character in the wines. . . "

Legends of the progressive rock scene in Baltimore during the 1970’s and 80’s, OHO currently performs as a trio.  It is nearly impossible to describe the OHO sound, but we’ll try, “jazz flecked, jubilant, jangly, folk/prog/rock. www.ohomusic.com

Tannic or Acidic? . . .




(from http://antiwinesnob.com/wine-articles/whats-the-difference-between-tannins-and-acidity/)
". . .Tannins are often described as bitter, puckery, drying, astringent or akin to the sensation of rubbing a swab of cotton down your tongue. I actually tried this and did see a connection between the two sensations. The flavor of tannin has also been described as the flavor of steeped black tea. (Which also has a high tannin content.) I tried this, too, and found the comparison very helpful in understanding the sensation and taste of tannins in my wine. . .

There appear to be four predominate types of acid found in wine: Tartaric Acid, Malic Acid, Lactic Acid and Citric Acid. These acids add what is called “structure” and help shape the flavors and aftertaste (also called a wine’s “finish”). Acids also act as a preservative. Another acid-Acetic Acid (vinegar)-is usually present in only trace amounts and contributes to a sweet/sour vinegar taste. Too much acetic acid in wine is not a good thing and can often be detected in super duper cheap table wines. . .

When distinguishing tannins from acidity, it is easier to start by comparing a white wine that has not been aged in oak (perhaps a Riesling-it is usually quite high in acidity) with a deep red wine (perhaps a Cabernet Sauvignon from California or Australia). When you try the white wine, you’ll notice the tart, zingy flavor that makes your tongue salivate a little. Kind of like drinking orange juice. When you try the red wine, you might have that tart, zingy feeling, too (the acid), but what you’ll also notice is that drying, puckery feeling that seems to roll down the middle of your tongue and coat your mouth. The wine feels deep and … complex. That’s the tannins in the red wine. . . "

Ahhh. . .

 . . . music . . .
 (from http://musicmagic.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/quotes-about-music/)   
Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.
– Benjamin Disraeli

Music is what feelings sound like.
– Author Unknown
   
Music is the poetry of the air.
– Richter
   
If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music.  It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. 
- Sydney Smith
   
Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.
– Henry David Thoreau

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
– Ludwig van Beethoven

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.  But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places.  Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.
– H.A. Overstreet

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.
– Edward Elgar
   
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
– Henry Ward Beecher
   
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
– Robert Fripp


[P.S.  Bill Pratt is truly all those things (see pianogonzology 9/29/2014) 'extraordinaire'-make no mistake]
