Sunday Morning Open Thread With Music by Yo-Yo Ma

Good morning, early risers. How about some soothing cello music this morning? But first,

I’m back on my classical kick again even if my last choice is classic Hollywood.

I remember going down to see Yo-Yo Ma in Cincinnati. My then-boyfriend and I were living in Dayton while he was in the Air Force. I used my college ID to score us some discount tickets. I believe Ma played Bach’s cello suites. What I do remember was the concert hall he played in must have had a mold problem because I felt like hacking my lungs out the whole time. I didn’t, of course. I didn’t want to ruin the superb concert for everyone else but it was near torture for me not make a sound.

I hope everyone enjoys this morning’s music.

So what’s on your mind this morning?
