It is great to find a Suzuki connection here, and I enjoyed following the
above link. My wife is a Suzuki piano teacher, and is the director of the
Green Mountain Suzuki Institute. My younger son Tim is an accomplished
Suzuki pianist, and was chosen for last year's master class at the Suzuki
Association of the America's annual meeting in Minneapolis (Schubert,
Impromptu #2 in E-Flat Major, Op. 90). He also studies harpsichord, flute,
bassoon, composition, conducting, and of course electric guitar/keyboards.
He is also our Lunar observing expert, and webcam guy. Music and cloudy
nights, and astronomy on clear ones!

Better yet, combine both music and astronomy.

My best observing sessions have three essential components:

1) observing table and chair,
2) laptop displaying the observed area with CDC and playing (mostly) Bach in
the background,
3) observing equipment nearby.

Thank you Dennis for the interesting information. You have quite a
talented son! I actually met Dr. Suzuki in Chicago -- he was probably
in his late 80s -- but the thought of asking *him* if he was
interested in astronomy never occurred to me!

A fellow after my own heart. I like Bach lute and guitar music while
star-gazing; but my husband Stephen prefers -- ugh! -- Bruckner
symphonies. I make him hold them off until he's observing alone...

Another Bachian? That's a surprise!

Bruckner's not /that/ bad. Of course nobody compares to The Master :-)
