Emily Cat 176

I listened to some wonderful music on Sunday.  I went to McClelland Gallery and listened to the MSO Academy, with some guests, play an interesting program. There were 2 Australian composers pieces in the program and l had not heard of either of them. Composers from my own country and l didn't know them. It shows that when it comes to classical music l have a lot to learn.

I've found a new series to read.  This book is what l would call cosy crime. An enjoyable read with a good narrator. Julia Chapman is the pen name for Julia Stagg. She is an English author who lived in France for many years. The series l have started with is The Dales Detective Series and this book is the first one. I think these books are very popular in England and are set in the Yorkshire Dales. A local boy comes back to his hometown running away from something that happened in London. He rents premises from an old school friend whose many businesses are failing. One of them, a dating agency runs speed dating nights and the men who attend these are being found dead. It's a light read, but, an enjoyable read. Let me know if you have read this series.

I was so wrong about classical music. So much choice, so much wonderful music. Love, love, love classical music now.  

I've done it again.  Twice this year l have forgotten to buy tickets. Am l loosing the plot?

I rarely read actual books.  Audiobooks is what l read these days, and enjoy reading this way. So it's unusual for me to buy a book and read it, but, that's what l did. Which do you prefer, books or audiobooks?

Talking about German composer Richard Wagner  He's not my favourite.  What do you think of his music?
