Lee wanted to take a picture with the milk container to get some idea of how big she is. There will be more pix later, but just to let you know....
Mary Soderstrom's blog
It's always nice when people that you write about like what you write. I'm no musician, and one of the big unknowns about River Music was what musicians might think. In fact, I was so unsure that I went out of my way not to ask musicians I knew what their opinion was.
But to my great delight, the reaction of musicians has been spontaneous and very positive. Here are three:
From pianist Jana Stuart:
"Mary, I just finished River Music. I could not put it down. I related so much to the character of Gloria Murray and the plight of the young pianist. I loved it to pieces. "
From Madeleine Owen, lutist and artistic director, Ensemble La Cigale:
"Gloria, is tough and not always likable and yet, I had to recognize some of her difficult choices as merely typical of what a musician, especially a woman, has to do in order to succeed in the competitive world of music."
And Cléo Palacio-Quintin, flûtiste-compositrice says:
"River Music nous emporte dans le flot d'une vie musicale riche en émotions. Dans un rythme fluide, Mary Soderstrom transcrit avec finesse la passion intime d'une interprète pour sa musique...difficile de poser le livre avant la fin."

Mazeltov!
This is our daughter's Birthday -- 27 years flashed past -- her first picture was taken outside well wrapped with an enormous knitted cap almost as big as she. Her Grandfather commented that it was a fine likeness of his grand hat.
So Lee has a grand jug? Toby maybe?

Jeanne is beautiful!

Elin is also beautiful -- no matter what she thinks of this particular picture.
All the very best of the best to all.

They went home on Sunday, and I refrained from calling yesterday to see how things were going in order to let them all get some sleep.
Thank you for your good wishes: I'll pass them on.
