A half-milestone, at least
Thanks to the kindness of my pal J., I will be attending my first live concert in just about forever. J. has tickets to the Tafelmusik performance of "Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House" at Koerner Hall, and she has invited me to go with her. I'm a bit nervous for physiological reasons, but will take all due precautions.
I've missed live music very, very much. Live music of any kind, not just baroque--every time I walk down Yorkville or Cumberland, I fantasize that I'm going to hear strains of folk or jazz drifting out of a coffeehouse storefront. Never mind that there hasn't been a true coffeehouse in Yorkville for years (maybe decades), and that all the storefronts open into venues so expensive that I won't be entering any of them unless I win a lottery. The fantasy abides.
