Long John Silvie is home and hopping mad!!

Attend the first international 43T Chianti party (read all 2 entries…)
Dates??? 2 years ago

How about the beginning of May?

I may want to be in Bologna around then too, it could be a tour!



Comments:

I can't

commit to anything yet as have to attend trustees’ meetings for which the dates haven’t been agreed. Suggest everyone else goes ahead regardless and I’ll hope to be able to make it!

Noooo!!!

we can wait too.

When will you know the meeting dates?

I'm not sure...

They all have meetings in November and I think they sort the dates out then. June is a good month for me if that’s not leaving it too late.

it's only just down the road for me

(cough, cough), so i can probably be very flexible.

whereas for the rest of us

it’s an epic, Lord of the Rings style journey…

obviously not wishing to imply that Lucca bears any resemblance to Mordor

As for me

I either suggest may (after the 12 would be best for me) or june (but it’s a month of exams, so that’s tricky).
In some weeks I might know better.
In any case Silvie, if you are coming to Bologna in May as I read elsewhere we migh meet then also (I’m in Bologna more often than not, have you already been there?).

I have only been to Milano

in Italy (so far!).

not counting Sardinia

My violin was born in Bologna many years ago, and I also have an urge to visit Cremona, but I think I will need lots of spending money if I do :)

Bologna next May will be for a concert (but it’s early days yet). And it would be great to meet if I do come.

Then

we will meet fi you come! Great!
As soon as you know the dates we might try to organise the Lucca meeting around your dates (if that’s conveninent for you). There would be no point in coming twice.
Are you playing at the concert?

No point in coming twice???

I think there might be every point, there is so much to see and do.

The Bologna concert would be I think May 7th, but it is not confirmed yet. And no I won’t be playing in it, just watching and listening.

Maybe we should all go, and I might need a local superagent to procure a ticket for me nearer the time :)

{Turandot} is under snow

I meant

you could come just once and stay longer. Not certainly that you would get bored after just one visit!
I can procure tickets of course, and would be glad to do that!

Your violin

was born in Bologna!
My teacher of Harmony and composition (who is from Bologna) has a good friend who makes violin and cellos. Maybe he made your?
And just near the university in Bologna there’s a lovely laboratory where it’s possible to see the man working to make the violin. It’s a charming sight!
