We New Yorkers know that we can\u2019t predict the weather and therefore often wear a coat in eighty degree weather and shiver in light clothing and no umbrella in a sudden storm. Last Monday was one of our very hot days. I wandered on the High Line, packed with natives, tourists and vendors. – Coney Island on the Hudson.<\/p>\n

We escaped from the modern world by going to Violist Antoine Tamestit\u2019s Frick concert. It was a lyrical late-afternoon recital. Mr. Tamestit expressed his admiration for Johann Sebastian Bach by playing pieces that had influenced and been influenced by Bach. He began the concert with Heinrich von Fiber\u2019s seventeenth century Rosary Sonata then skipped to the twentieth century with Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti\u2019s Sonata for Viola.<\/p>\n

I went to my childhood haunt, The Museum of Modern Art, MOMA, to see In Name Only<\/em>. It\u2019s a 1939 film with lovely Carole Lombard, lovely Cary Grant and lovely Kay Francis in her very lovely wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Happy Passover and Happy Easter to one and all!<\/p>\n
