a january gift.

here is one of my favorite songs of all time. (both of all my time and of all musical time, though i don't know much about all musical time.) it is kind of long, but so so good that i hope you'll watch it. it's a section from rachmaninov's "rhapsody on a theme of paganini," and when i saw it at the utah symphony a few years back-- when the orchestra stopped and the piano came in alone-- when i figure out words for how it made me feel, i'll share them.

good song. I know I'm lame but the name of the song always makes me think of something that would be made on the food network. Would you like your Rhapsody on a theme of Panini or would you like your Panini on a theme of Rhapsody?

oh - so I guess since you are looking for words to describe how the song makes you feel....mine must be "hungry."

Jane just stared at the screen (that doesn't happen). It was beautiful.
