Music from Alfred Hitchcock

Interesting presentation by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Saturday. Included with the music from four of his films was footage from the films themselves shown on a screen over the orchestra. It was, for me, difficult to observe the orchestra with the film showing on the screen, competing interests (perhaps more evidence of ADD). The music was terrific, the films wonderful. We are motivated to hope to see the films -- only North by Northwest has been seen recently.

Saturday also was our first event without Vern. We picked Pat up at her house and drove her to DSO. Dinner was at Paradise Cafe at Orchestra Hall. She seemed to handle it well, perhaps better than we did--lots of emotions.

A find start to our cultural season which will be different without Vern.

Then there are the Lions...
