I found it comforting to read about someone going though the same process, complete with listening to excerpts on ipods and awkward encounters with friends. Plus, I went to Northwestern and was pleased to see Naomi, Jerome, and Chris Davis all mentioned in addition to you. (You are all a few years older than I, but like Naomi, I did the five-year program, so I was around for a while). Oh, and you can still read the article in the press section of the New World website for free.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587734192703062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-71697911238906134852007-03-05T11:24:00.000-07:002007-03-05T11:24:00.000-07:00Well that puts an end to my readership!

With confirmation that's not going to be happening, there's just nothing left for me here.<BR/><BR/>I loved the article, and though I might not know you well from this incarnation of Matt, I have at least a little more understanding of what makes you tick these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017597629425770373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-23302492325466205682007-03-04T10:41:00.000-07:002007-03-04T10:41:00.000-07:00Aw ... what's not to like, Matt? :-) Where is th...Aw ... what's not to like, Matt? :-) Where is this article? I missed it.<BR/><BR/>Your observations are well-put and spot-on. But setting celebrity aside, we can never live in a vacuum anyway.

It was a fascinating look at the world of the up and coming classical musician. I have been a regular subscriber to symphony and opera for over 30 years and have known some professional orchestra members in top-rate orchestras; this was a really fine article. <BR/><BR/>I found your blog while googling "Andrew Grams" ... he was the (excellent) guest conductor tonight here at the Dallas Symphony. I am looking forward to continuing to read you.... good luck on the future auditions.Bill in Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10957676130537798859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-40529655487965932742007-03-03T11:15:00.000-07:002007-03-03T11:15:00.000-07:00I'm not sure if you've checked Think Denk recently...I'm not sure if you've checked Think Denk recently, but Jeremy seems to be nursing a strange social interest in the late Ms. Smith. . .<BR/><BR/>Additionally, one reason I was aware of Ms. Smith's situation was the extent of the bizarre litigation and lawsuits pending at the time of her death; I am sure these stresses had something to do with her premature passing. And it makes me relieved NOT to be her attorney!LSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993753467049880331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-70884280453968993842007-03-02T20:44:00.000-07:002007-03-02T20:44:00.000-07:00Thank you so much - you're very right, both in you...Thank you so much - you're very right, both in your observation and of course in your correction. I probably shouldn't even to attempt social commentary, when I can't keep all the names of actresses and lingerie models straight!<BR/><BR/>It is wonderful to be understood so well despite all my absurdities, though. I suppose that was what I was trying to point out here!Matt Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826702936313274744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-13112510580013049872007-03-02T20:38:00.000-07:002007-03-02T20:38:00.000-07:00Matt- I think the last two sentences of this post ...Matt- I think the last two sentences of this post are the most lovely phrases you have written on your blog. Certainly this new experience must have opened more windows into your own perception of yourself, and how you are perceived by others. <BR/><BR/>By the way, did you mean the death of Anna Nicole Smith, rather than P. Anderson?LSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993753467049880331noreply@blogger.com
