Love, Mary

This just in ... from my sister Mary who is performing next Friday in Minneapolis. This especially goes out to my MSRS readers who need something free to do! It's going to be in MacPhail's new concert hall, which isn't really a hall, but more of an atrium with seats. So, it'll be easier to bring (noisy) kids (who need to be ushered out all the time. Ana.)

I would like to invite you to an upcoming concert featuring Turkish pianist Pinar Basgoze and myself as a piano duo. The concert will take place on Friday,April 25 at 7pm, at MacPhail Center for Music in downtown Minneapolis. Admission is free! Our program includes Debussy's Petite Suite, Schubert's Fantasy in f minor, and Barber's Souvenirs. Please join us for this event, and feel free to pass on the informationto anyone else who might be interested!Cheers!

Favorite Flicks

Don't have a clue what to put on your Netflix queue? Well, I happen to like movies a lot. It's a trait, and a desirable one I might add, that I inherited from my dad.

One of me and Dan's all time favorite movies are those by Iranian Director Majid Majidi. They are at once inspiring and tragic. Try any one of these. You won't be left thinking: "Well there went two hours of my life I'll never get back." Honestly, they make Hollywood's movies look pitiful and self-serving. This isn't the exhaustive list of his movies, just the one's we've seen and recommend.

1. Children of Heaven. About the beautiful love and sacrifice a boy makes for his sister. Second favorite!!!

2. The Color of Paradise. A widower seeks to marry again but is embarassed by his son who is blind. This one is by far my favorite.

3. Baran. This one's a simple love story between a young Iranian man and a young Afghani woman. Third favorite, but not by much.

4. The Willow Tree. This one is about a blind professor who temporarily regains his sight. But in receiving it, he sees life so different, that he wishes he had never been able to see at all. It's not my favorite, but I still liked it all the same.
