I attended the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra a couple weeks ago. It was incredible.
Admittedly, I am not a big classical music fanatic. But I’d rather listen to classical than some of the screechy and screamy things some consider to be music today. I admire the talent it takes to create any music, and the lyrical work necessary to tell a story. But you like what you like, I guess.
Generally, I prefer country music or some traditional rock and roll. In my humble opinion, the music of the 70’s and 80’s was, and remains, way better than most of the music out there today. Therefore, the “classic hits” station in Topeka, Kansas, is what’s on in my vehicle most often. I suppose that makes me classic as well, though I don’t think I’ve reached the classical level just yet, because don’t you have to be a bit dusty for that to be true?
It has been a long time, maybe 15 or more years since I’ve had the opportunity to take in a symphony performance. On this recent occasion, it was date night with Mrs. Gleason. Overall, the concert and dinner before it, made for a wonderful evening in Kansas City. |
