But I need to remind myself that the main reason I’m stressed is that a) I spent last weekend kayaking with the kids; and b) that I will spend all of next week taking a freestyle course on the Soča river.

So it’s a nice problem to have.

He’s a real pro (guessing he went through El Sistema), and a proper showman.

Definitely sticks out among the dour Germans. When he walks onto the stage, he shakes hands with the 1st violin player and then waves to the audience, as if this was the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Great show!
