    Covid-day-34

    【抗疫宅家】Day 34 很emotional的一天。One World:Together at Home网络直播音乐会断断续续看了好几个小时,全世界的大牌欢聚一屏,没有华丽的舞台,有的是没有铺的床,家里的狗狗,窗外的街景……更多的是对一线人员真诚的问候感恩。下半场进行中……郎朗,Gaga和Celion??天籁之音? 下午三点Sinfonia Zoom排练,几乎所有人都到了,满屏小小的熟悉的脸庞。暖心的弟弟给我一个EarPod旁听排练,一如过去一年半的每个周六下午。今年的计划中有一个Bartok的Viola Concerto,和费城交响乐团曾经最年轻的音乐家(19岁)Rachel Ku合作,如今大家困在家里,合奏是泡汤了,今天排练Ku到场分享了她对这个concerto的理解演绎,虽然听不懂专业知识,但能深深感受到她对音乐的激情。接下来排练virtual交响乐团的曲目《欢乐颂Ode to Joy》。Maestro White说这是一个非常自然的选择,我们终将再聚首,而贝多芬又是一个坚信人人平等自由的理想主义者。White更是动情地说想念乐团的每一个人,虽然听不见大家的声音,但在屏幕上看到每个人的演奏,愉悦激动难以言表。我戴着耳机听着midi和弟弟的黑管,想象其他乐器的声音,无数次泪目。期待乐团演奏制作的完成,疫情当前,这个项目意义非凡。 晚饭意面,全家讨论的结果。别看简简单单一盘?意面,我忙了整整一下午,意面酱是?壳熬制出来的,意面也是新鲜做的,自然是吃了个精光。 晚饭热量有点高,出门走走,春寒料峭!九重樱?已含苞待放,梨花也是满枝桠,却冷得瑟瑟发抖,不过比朋友圈里满屏的❄️还是好些。 今天朋友圈里同样多的是转帖方方的“交代书”(此时已被和谐?)。方方的武汉日记我兢兢业业地追了,欣赏她朴实的语言犀利的声音。而如今文攻武斗,令人发指,唯有心寒。 ?中饭:韭菜鸡蛋,Hash brown,thick bacon,cheese bread?晚饭:龙虾?意面

    Yuengling Brewery

    Yuengling Brewery America’s oldest brewery is in a mountainous town of Pottsville, PA. It’s no surprise why D.G. Yuengling settled here in 1829 once you hear about the cave. Yes, back in early 1800s, there was no refrigeration and cave being constantly at 42F degrees was perfect for beer fermentation. View of Pottsville from the gift shop of Yuengling Cave Because there were structures on the ground level, explosives could not be used. The cave was completely dug out with hammer and chisel by many local miners who no longer had mining jobs in the late 1800s.  Prohibition In 1919, during the prohibition of alcohol, the government ordered Yuengling to…
