Classical Music With Big Mike

I hope you don’t mind this personal post on my classical music web site. My wife and I are on a relaxing vacation in Galveston Texas because on this Friday, March 8, 2024, will be Sheralyn and my, 42nd Wedding Anniversary.

How blessed I have been since that day 42 years ago-and on the other hand I must ask, “what was she thinking to marry me?” 🙂

For many years now we have had season tickets for our great Houston Symphony Orchestra at Jones Hall in downtown Houston, Texas. In all these years I have learned Sheralyn’s very two favorite classical music pieces – that if they are ever performed – we must attend. Can you guess what they are? I will give you a hint: One has been composed by maybe the greatest ever American composer; and the other piece is by a great French composer who ironically was born on this day, Thursday March 7, 1875!

Have you guessed them?

Please turn up the volume and enjoy my wife Sheralyn’s two favorite pieces [and I bet the favorites for some of you].

George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue:

Maurice Ravel: Bolero:

Happy Anniversary #42 Sheralyn!

I love you!
