Elgarian Redux

Quote from: Cato on December 11, 2018, 04:35:30 PM
The fund-raising on FaceBook for Karl's recovery is almost at $7,000 ! 

I have written about pushing the fund to $10,000 by Sunday night: if you can afford to donate something again, that would be most wonderful!  0:)

Furthermore, the GoFundMe appeal has now exceeded $6000:

We don't know how many people, like myself, have sent contributions independently of these two funds.

Excellent news!

Perhaps Karl will continue to recover at a rate faster than expected, thereby minimizing costs of therapy, etc.

I hum it in my sleep

Which causes me to ask whether I have ever heard, or played, music in my sleep. I don't think I have. At least, I don't remember having done so, which is not the same thing.

I have often awakened with something playing, whether something recently heard or long ago or one of my own pieces.

Two + years ago, the music for my 9-voice choral work, Exaudi me, was playing in my head when I woke up one morning, after I had rediscovered my 40+ year-old sketch for the piece.

I should offer that work again to our newer members, and any regular members, over on the curiously named "...CATO, Who is NOT a Composer" topic!   0:)

I frequently hear music in my dreams. I remember a piano concerto and a symphony. I swear that I was hearing the music as vivid as in a live concert.

A good sign I'm sure.

I always hum whilst eating. I'm used to my wife or daughter kicking me under the table at dinner parties to stop me doing it.

Keep up the good work Karl

Greetings Again Everyone!

Maria Bablyak, Karl's wife, has this update on the fund-raising front:

Quote

We are almost there, almost enough for the first month for Karl's rehabilitation care and therapy necessary for his recovery! Many thanks to everyone!


(My emphasis above: I would assume she means that the effort is reaching the $10,000 mark.)

A good number of FaceBook Hearts followed that statement!  0:)

Karl, I was terribly sorry to hear about this. I'm glad you are on the mend and I wish you all the best in returning to business as usual.

Thank you all, again!

Wow, look who's here!  So glad you are feeling up to returning to online citizenry, and wishing you more "leaps and bounds" every day.
