Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

The Blacksburg Community Strings and Chamber Orchestra performed Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, at a concert on May 9, 2009. This is the first movement. Ginger plays the viola for the BCS.

I found it interesting that the conductor is very well respected and recognised. Ake-Eric Renqvist is a native of Finland and was awarded the distinguished title Director Musices, signed by the President of Finalnad in 1995. The honor came as a result of his 30 years of teaching and conducting at the North Kymi College of Music Symphony Orchestra and the Rauma Sinfonietta. After nearly 30 years as a violinist, he studied conducting with Premysl Charvat, the principal conductor fo the National Opera in Prague.

Support our local musicians by attending their concerts. The next one is scheduled for July 4 to celebrate Independence Day.
