I've been out of commission with some sort of nasty flu bug, so there have been no posts and no video blog. I've also been unable to find out if Andre Previn has recognized the son of his former baton maker, who is now a 57-year-old bald viola player in the SLSO. As Chris Woehr wrote when he made this weekend's program one of his Musician Picks:
"I am fascinated by this program, conducted by André Previn himself. He
might still be using one of my dad's batons. (My father made sticks for
most of the conductors of his generation, and was Previn's music
librarian in the Pittsburgh Symphony. I'm wondering if Previn will freak
out that the 57-year-old bald viola player in front of him is the son
of his former colleague.)"
