Earlier this year one of my aunts celebrated her 90th birthday in Las Vegas. One thing I did with my cousins is to watch the Bellagio Fountains. This performance was to the song "One" from the play "A Chorus Line", and as you can see, the fountains are choreographed to the music, although it's hard to capture that in a still image. At times the water did look like a high-kicking chorus line.

The last person named Steinway to run the Steinway & Sons piano company died last Thursday. Henry Z. Steinway was the great-grandson of Heinrich Steinweg (later Steinway). Coincidentally enough, I happen to be reading the part of the book A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano (by Katie Hafner) which describes how Steinway & Sons came to be. More on the book after I've finished reading it.
