Your Editor slipped into Western Massachusetts yesterday — not
to chastise some shady lawyers, but to find a shady spot at Tanglewood
for an afternoon concert by the Boston Symphony, featuring Pinchas
Zuckerman.
I can’t remember ever spending a more enjoyable time outside. Perfect (and
bugfree) summer weather; the company of two of my very best friends and
their extended family; people-watching fun; beautiful music across the field;
intervals in peaceful repose, or reading The Innocent, Harlan Coben’s newest
thriller; and painting-perfect cloud puffs slowly sailing by. Then, we ended the
evening celebrating three August birthdays with some sinful chocolate cake.
A performance that will be hard to beat — even by Carolyn Hall.
