Early Evening Concert

25 Feb

Last evening there was a concert close to our front door. Someone was playing a piano with the balcony doors open to the little street next to ours. The lush and brimming music filled the neighborhood at sunset. We opened our balcony doors and listened to it for more than an hour. Selections included a wide range of popular songs like Lara’s Theme from Dr. Zhivago and, my cultural favorite, Speak Softly Love from The Godfather. I have to look up the word for “schmaltz” in Italian. I looked it up. It’s schmaltz.
