My son "Elwood" and I got dressed up tonight and headed into St. Paul for a fabulous piano recital by the incomparable Emanuel Ax, who played Beethoven and Schumann. He played the "Appassionata" sonata of Beethoven and one of my favorite Schumann pieces, the set called "Papillons," as well as an early Beethoven sonata and a Schumann Fantasy. Heaven.

Thought it would be fun to share a few photos of mother and son here. I am looking rather puffy and tired, as you can see, but Elwood is spiffy enough for the both of us!

Hope you all had a great night. I loved sharing the recital with my son, whatever his name is!
