I went out for a nice ride yesterday afternoon after spending the morning watching two World Cup matches. It was great to get out on the road especially since I haven't been riding much lately, with the exception of going to the gym and taking care of some errands. I've been caught up with futbol since June 11 and will most likely be tied up with it until the finale.
Anyway, I'm a fan of the composer Chopin aka the poet of the piano. Remarkable and beautiful his works are indeed. I've appreciated his music since I was a child and is still my favorite of the well known classical composers. I discovered a few weeks past that the LA County Museum of Arts presents weekly recitals on Sunday afternoons. They are free and open to the public which is great in these harsh economic times. Well, after my ride up PCH I cruised over to LACMA and arrived just in time. I was able to observe two performances: 1) a cellist and pianist and 2) a pianist and a soprano vocalist. I enjoyed the first performance the most since I'm not into opera style singing.
It's nice to know and experience small pleasure such as these....a pleasant Sunday afternoon it was.....

Always good to experience new things; that you were not used to when growing up. One of my favorite composers is Shostakovitch; I learned to appreciate music of all kinds and each expresses your soul differently.
