Pledge week — Andre Rieu and Bond!

September 28, 2006 By Charley on the MTA

Time to dole out the dough for Deval and Tim. You know what to do. As of this writing, we’re $1,110 away from our goal of $2000 by the end of the quarter on Saturday. It’s doable, but if you’re holding back … now’s the time.

So, tonight’s offering: Andre Rieu — with Bond! They’re a Madison Avenue-conceived confection of four women who seem to play unidentifiable variants of string instruments. Now … what exactly are those instruments they’re playing on? And are they really playing them? (And do they play Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge? Shostakovich? Elliott Carter? But I digress.)

Come on, you want it to end, right? Give.

    according to their Wikipedia article, they are a string quartet, two Brits and two Australians, with several best-selling albums on both the pop and classical charts in various countries.  Of course, Andre probably explained all that in his intro, but I didn’t follow the German.

    Like he said, give the money and make it stop!

    Haiku writing’s tough,
    Day in, day out. Just send your
    Money to Deval.

      for the right incentive. Will we be incensed…or not?

      PS: Use this BMG-based link, not DavidLARall’s link, since his doesn’t go to the BMG page and won’t add to the takings/shorten the fundraiser here…unless you’re truly into haiku and wish to prolong the pain.
