OT Where has time gone
 

I am listening to Classic fm and the announcer has just reported that
'It was 20 years ago that Emma Johnson, as an 18 year old stunned the
audience and TV viewers with her performance of Mozart's Clarinet
Concerto"

20 Years!!!!! I remember that as if it were 'yesterday'. She was
terrific!!

What were the readers of this newsgroup doing 20 years ago and does it
seem like yesterday to them ??????

Err, you might "remember that as if it were 'yesterday'", and that she
was "terrific", but I fear your memory is at fault! If, as I assume is
the case, both you and the Classic FM announcer are referring to the
performance which helped Emma Johnson win the BBC Young Musician of the
Year, she didn't play the Mozart concerto but one by Bernhard Crusell !!

20 years ago I was watching Emma Johnson play the Crusell concerto,
though I'm not certain which of the three he wrote that she played,
though I think it was probably No.1.

I stand corrected!! I would have put money on that fact that it was the
Mozart!!

We were gardening, the same garden as we tend now. We were enjoying it
just as much then as we do now. It doesn't seem like yesterday because a
lot of other things in life have changed.

20 years ago I'd just given up my career in the computer industry,
reduced my income by 2/3, and embarked on an excellent voyage of
self-discovery. Oooops - I also gave up a vegetable-producing garden
with house and swapped it for temporary rooms. :(

ski trip to Kitzbuhel. Winters seemed so long back then.
