(149,308 posts)DFW and his wife are excellent hosts and we were very comfortable staying with them.
I did have WiFi and was able to be online a fair amount of time, but it was fragmentary, unlike here at home.
Watching the river pass by is an amazing thing! Enjoy!

(46,262 posts)I've loved the 6th since I was a kid and saw "Fantasia" for the first time.
Granted, that segment of Fantasia is a little cutesy-poo now that I'm older, but I still like it, and I love the actual symphony.
Watching Leonard Bernstein conduct it on YouTube is a real treat.

As a timpanist, my plan is to try to sneak out after the storm.
Humm, maybe I can convince the conductor to do have the storm hit first !
