It seems suitable while watching the snow pile up on my window sill. Eric Silbin in his examination of the cello suites as played by Casals related and interesting story; "When Casal's was aked (then age 93) why he continued to practice the cello three hours a day, he replied; I'm beginning to notice some improvement." "It's like an act of murder; you play with the intent to commit something"--Duke Ellington

When I rill out my snow blower the last time it looked and me and said: “Come on, man!” BTW, talking about Casals… there was good show at local NPR about his cello:    http://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2015/02/11/385240526/what-it-means-to-play-pablo-casals-cello    Anyhow, shoveling the snow I wonder when the son will grow up and would do it for me….
