Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for April 07, 2022

I would go. No questions asked.

The only time I know I’ve been to a live Tchaikovsky performance was The Nutcracker Christmastime 2005; went with a girl I used to partially date and her parents to see her younger sister in the cast.

Well, now that’s a g rated explanation! (The teenage boy in me hears the sound of a whip cracking…sorry)

Well, that’s the fastest piece of work I’ve ever seen in my life…!

He won’t have time to be bored if they just play the actual cello concerto as left by Tchaikovsky.

Once he got a taste of the final piece, he was all in for it.

Poncho you will have more fun eating popcorn and watching TV. Leave the boat in port .

Poncho’s been rocking the boat since he got on. I’m surprised they still keep him around.

Girls have things guys want, so guys do things they don’t want to. And so it goes…

Aw, go on, Poncho, rock that boat!

Not sure this applies, but my dad used to say gasoline fumes and perfume turn a teenage boy’s brain to mush.

Vaporized! He never even knew what hit him.

My life in 4 panels.

The Cello Concerto of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is a conjectural work based in part on a 60-bar fragment found on the back of the rough draft for the last movement of the composer’s Sixth Symphony, the Pathétique. In 2006, Ukrainian composer and cellist Yuriy Leonovich completed the work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cello_Concerto_(Tchaikovsky/Leonovich)

Fun Fact: I actually wrote The 1812 Overture for Woodstock. Who knew Tchaikovsky would “borrow” Nikola Tesla’s time machine and steal it from me! Time travel is REAL, and the Gubmint’s hiding it! Wake up, people!

Am I the only one grossed out by her sucking out his brains? A picture of his brain turning to mush would have been adequate. Plus we all know Poncho rocks every boat and everything else he can get into.

Yet, you no doubt will…..

As far as I know, Tchaikovsky never wrote anything specifically for cello. He wrote various works for small string ensemble, which would obviously include cello, but there is no such thing as a work by Tchaikovsky specifically for cello. The closest thing to it is that 60 bar fragment referred to above.

Who are you and what have you done with Poncho?

Technically speaking, there isn’t a Tchaikovsky ‘cello concerto’ despite the claim of a 60 bar excerpt. Variations on a Rococo Theme acts as one for ’cello soloists with orchestra.

Carmen looks so pretty!!!!!!! :)

Good boy, Poncho.
