The concert tonight was a phenomenal experience! The Cultural Palace is "one of the great concert halls of Europe," to quote what Lou told us today in his pep talk before the concert. Most members of the orchestra were local professionals hired for the performance. They were WONDERFUL. We even had a harp accompany us on “Blessed is the Nation.”

I looked over during the concert to see Levis Dragulin playing a new black trumpet, which he picked up in town (Targu Mures) today.

Estee (Rick’s wife) picked up a new pair of concert shoes for me today, made in Italy. The soles of the shoes I brought with me started falling off a couple days ago, in great chunks!
