Your parents’ve got taste. Got a fondness for blues my own self, jazz as well, and an appreciation for anyone blares the music, credit to em. Those claiming allegience for classical’s a gambit, as I’ve found it. Can be feeling it and appreciation, or more often a shorthand for full on snob shitery.

Simone herself was trained classical, aye? Beautiful work, hers.

You mentioned music familiar to yourself. What’s that look like? Or eh, what’s it you’ve an ear for?

Can’t call my playing work, not so much though wouldn’t I love if that were so. Get paid here and there, pit orchestras and ensemble gigs mostly. The symphony’s a volunteer basis, and anything beyond’d ask more time to my own improving than I can give.

Or’ve figured how to give. Truth be told I could stand to devote more time to practice, less to mucking around with gaming and E, but day jobs’ll get the best of me. Wears on a man, that’s so.

Paying work’s mostly through odd jobs. Got a reputation hereabouts so people come with what they need. Otherwise I do some electrical work, some repair. Some with lighting rigs and boards. There’s also the work more aligned with Darius & Co., which is talking for another time, but I know people who know people who know where things’re found, aye. Used to do more auto maintenance, but worked beside one too many sackless wankers leading in one too many injuries to hand and wrist and it got to not be worth the risk.

What is it you build your days of, Talik? Work or otherwise, not bothered one way or another.

And back to the music, fair warning’s I risk running deep in the weeds any time I start on recommendations and eh explanations. Glad to do it, that’s sure, and truth is I’m keen on sharing it all with you.

Saint-Saens I’ve mentioned, and there’s Dvorak up there for me, with a fondness for Kodaly’s sonata and for Glass done solo. On the inverse side, anyone speaks Pachelbel, I run. …Would like to, anyway. Trouble is that’s a fav for wedding gigs, and that’s where peak payment lies.

Asinine piece of music, that. If one can so far as call it music.

Not the point, right. I’ll send along some links, performances like, you can watch em as you feel or else listen?

Like to talk with your Sergiy about music sometime, that’s sure. [ … ] If the time comes, or when that ‘if’ should come to pass. [ … ] I don’t mean to be pushy on the point, yeah? Like to meet him sometime, very much would, but at once I’m aware there’s no good rushing. And you’re right keeping caution with your son. That’s nothing save sensible. Admirable, aye.

He play anything himself? Or [ … ] right, truth I’ve got no sense of when kids start playing these days hereabouts, let alone across the seas so can’t say whether that’s askin ahead of times.

…And that was me sayin ‘these days’ like I’m all the advanced age of seventy chrissake. Sounding like Senan himself. That’s me meandering near out of hand as well, so I’ll lead this part of my messaging to a close, but.

Final note for this one. I’d like to play for you, that’s a truth. Happens I was planning on bringing the cello with, seeing as I’ll be a few weeks away at least, and I don’t like going long without.

So, eh, if you’ll allow and yr time allows. Maybe there’s another opportunity for some visiting.

Fingers crossed, as they say.
