1898. More kudos

I also touted Mr. Mayer (say 'Myer') in #625.
When playing his oboe, Al Mayer
From me can't get praise any higher
If the phil from Berlin
Gives a concert, drop in!
He will prove that this Phil is no liar.

  1. I just love the sound of the oboe. I found Al Mayer on Youtube - what perfect playing, just beautiful! Did you see the video where he is simultaneously conducting the orchestra and playing the oboe, while touting a white sweater with a big, black, almost cartoon-like silhouette of a whale on the front? Priceless!

    1. Oops, 'touting ' should read 'wearing'. My mind wandered carelessly. Wish there was an editing feature on here.

    2. There IS... and colors, bold, underline, links, etc., etc. for actual posts.

      I've not seen Mayer on youtube -- only on a wonderful free cable show we get called Classic Arts Showcase.
