Diane and Dan joined ( I know, those companion fees …) Flo and me for RickÃs June recital. TÃwas better than May, with a larger crowd (not just by three, Susan), and IÃm convinced had he a more elastic audience, there would have been a standing ovation. Among others, Rick played Strauss, BeethovenÃs “Rage Over A Lost Penny,” PucciniÃs “Gianni Schicchi” and SmetanaÃs “Moldau.”
However, the hit of the day was Dan’s dog, Paxie, who circulated around the crowd and then spent most of the concert on FloÃs lap.
Flo led Dan on a tour of Concord Park ( “It’s very well laid out.” “There are elevators everywhere.”), ending in her apartment.
