Roland Dyens Tickets

[nylon6]

I have 2 tickets (row B!) to Roland Dyens' concert in San Francisco on January 12th that I can't use. $60 for the pair ($64 face value)


(I assume this doesn't violate any rules since it isn't a product that GSI carries...)

well i will be in SF that day... but let me first find out more about the Concert... i easily fall asleep at concerts, ballets and even movies!

Nylon6 -- If Michelob doesn't want them, I'll take them! (I never fall asleep at concerts. Except when I'm performing.) In fact, I'll commit to taking them, if Michelob doesn't want them. So once we hear from him, you either can send me a private message, or call at
(510) 531-4690 to arrange the transaction, assuming he doesn't want them. Thanks.

Will do. If I don't hear something by tomorrow (Sunday), they are yours!

[Michelob]

i am so sorry, i did not realize i held this up... I really feel bad.

By all means, JSK can have the tickets. I learned yesterday I will be LA bound on the 12.

So gentlemanly of you Nylon6 and JSK to wait, and so rude of me not to get back more quickly.

The thread, however, induced me to review his work on YouTube. I love that "Tango En Skai" which i did not realize he had composed.
i love this rendition, by Kaori Muraji..... spectacular.

No apology necessary, and certainly no need for remorse. There's plenty of time on this still, and I wasn't holding my breath. I just wanted to extend a little "professional courtesy," as they say, so you could exercise your first rights of refusal. Or something like that.

Anyway, Nylon6, I should be around at the number above for the next few days, or you can e-mail me at jeffskross at earthlink dot net, so we can make the arrangements. (Probably easier than PM'ing me, which I've never used.)

Looking forward to it. Probably wouldn't have attended otherwise, but sometimes the best events occur serendipitously. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words Jeff. I did not realize you too are an attorney.
That guitar keeps us from going insane, doesn't she?

Is the instrument depicted in the photograph accompanying your initials your guitar, details....?

Enjoy the Concert, Jeff.

True, true, I've hitched my sanity to my guitar. And more particularly, to my classical guitar. I've lately begun stretching myself -- perhaps too thinly -- into jazz, and I never realized before what a comfort it was to be able to read actual notes written on an actual page of music, rather than having to make it all up as one goes along. When those ii-V-I chord progressions start getting out of hand and my brain starts grinding to a screeching halt, I go running back to some Albeniz, and all's right with the world.

The guitar in the avatar is mine. It's an early 2006 Richard Prenkert cedar and Indian. Visually, one of the most lovely top woods I've seen, with the extra bonus that I got to pick the woods and rosette from Richard's stash, and got to play the guitar in the unfinished state so he could make any adjustments I found necessary (to wit: none) before finishing it.

Thanks for relinquishing the tickets without a court fight [insert winking emoticon here], and, as our private transaction seems to have gone public, I'll post a review of the concert on the forum for the rest.
