It is my understanding that the humans did a show in the fall, and I may have slept through the proceedings.  That is my prerogative. 

I have now been reliably informed that another concert is occuring on the 28th of this month, and that my adoring fans wait with bated breath to hear my pronouncements on this newest musical endeavour.  Well, to you, my adoring public, I say this:  Strauss!

We are putting on a Strauss concert with Braden - whose playing I find acceptable.  I sit on the piano bench with him and add the occasional pitch not notated in the score.  Given the sheer complexity and depth of Strauss' harmonies it is difficult to believe that some notes may have been missed, but I assure you, this is the case.  I am happy to fix these editorial errors.  I am NOT walking on the keys simpy to make Braden pet me.  That kind of puerile behaviour is for kittens and worse still.... dogs.  There, I'm glad that little misunderstanding has been dealt with.

Now, back to conducting from the keyboard...  You!  Singer!  Give me more!
