It's Mahler vs. Marimba at the Philharmonic!

It’s Mahler vs. Marimba at the Philharmonic!

DROP the barking purse dog!….Who needs ‘im….

..when you can STOP A WHOLE SYMPHONY DEAD with your MARIMBA I-phone ring tone!

That’s what happened last night! The New York’s Philharmonic was minding its own biz….playing Mahler’s 9th under the magic baton of Alan Gilbert.

Suddenly, at the quietest part…..

…. the offending I-phone ring went off…….

……and went on and on and on and on and on….and on and on and on…..

The ringer guy actually did nothing to stop the ringing!

So the CONDUCTOR actually stopped the performance!!!

Gilbert pointed his baton at the ringer and told it to knock it off and knock it out! Now THAT brought the house down.

Guess what? That didn’t stop this mad ringer GLOVES OFF! THIS GUY IS A CONTENDER!

IT’S MARIMBA VS. MAHLER!!!!

The audience got up, and starting pointing at the mirimaba noise-maker, shouting, “throw him out!”

Nolo contendre. Mahler won. Finally the dang thang was turned off!!!

A princess never would have joined the angry (well-heeled) mob of Mahler hooligans and Marimba haters.

A princess never would have shouted so indecorously at the marimba mistake-maker.

Nay, a princess would have, under the circumstances, tried to help the poor devil of an “I-phone-deer-caught-in-the-headlights” person.

A PRINCESS WOULD HAVE STARTED A MARIMBA line!

TTFNP! (ta ta for now, princess)
