[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 732719, member: 43342"] My wife and I continue to follow the advice of the medical community and have been staying at home except for our weekly grocery run (for us and 4 elderly neighbors/friends) and me going to the church once every other week, when the church is empty, to record hymns on the organ for our weekly live-stream. My wife has kept busy with her garden - both flowers and veggies. We have lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, radishes, onions, strawberries, and even blueberries starting to bud and poke through. Come June and July, we may be able to skip grocery runs occasionally and just eat out of the garden. She has also been very adventurous making meals out of the odd assortment of "stuff" I bring home from the grocery store occasionally. This week's treat was Quasi Chicken Cordon Bleu.

The two big pieces are ones I played 35-40 years ago and am reviving. Here are links to recordings of me performing one, Estampes by Claude Debussy.
