31 January 2014: Friday ...

First group fitness class on the bike and it was challenging and sweating experience that took a lot out of me but was well worth it. Need to bring a towel and water the next time I do the class and set my seat forward a little bit, but overall, a good experience.

 World Cafe Live at The Queen: A small ensemble, the same instruments used by Igor Stravinsky
in his piece, "A Soldier's Tale", played the first piece for the concert
by instrumentalists of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra directed by
David Amado. In "Dead Elvis", composed by Michael Daugherty, the principal bassoonist of the
DSO, 55-year-old Jon Gaarder, took on the mantle of "The King"
and played exuberantly, one tune in particular, the "Dies Irae" of the
Latin Mass, an allusion to the Hell and Heaven battle that occurs with
some individuals, particularly Faust and in this case, Elvis Presley.
