Last night, at about 11:15pm, I randomly thought about the Mahler 6 concert we played under Spano at Oberlin. I haven't thought about it for a LONG time...and I suddenly realized that we have a video of the whole concert. I put it on and it was somewhere in the middle of the tape so I watched it from there for a little bit and then decided to rewind it to the beginning to hear some of the Ruckert Lieder. Much to my amazement, my dad had put a date stamp on the video. It said:
OCT 5 1996
I couldn't believe it. I was randomly moved to watch that tape on precicely the tenth anniversary of the performance.
That struck me as very very weird and very very cool. But then the following thought struck me even harder:
TEN years ago. TEN.
It seems like it was only a few years ago at most.
What on earth is up with my sense of time!?
