Au Revoir Le Pavillion
Anyone need an extra dose of destruction? They're demolitioning Le Pavillion, the recital hall at my alma mater, the Cleveland Institute of Music. You can watch updates of the destruction by CLICKING HERE...
It's a real mixture of feelings as I watch this... my first solo recital (no memories whatsoever), my junior recital (BAD memories), and my senior recital (ahhh... good memories) were all in that hall... me and Alan Bise wired the control room for recording in that hall... I shared the greatest concert laugh of my life with most of the audience in that hall (during a guest artist's concert, an old man fell asleep and began making these low, gutteral (quasi-sexual) moans... no one woke him up, and he kept getting louder, and louder, and LOUDER)...
So long, Pav...
