Out West Arts recently blogged about “L. A. Phil” I thought he was referring to a person. You know? Sort of like the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. Sigh.

And that’s all. Except to say, “Man, he gets to go to a lot of concerts. In a lot of places.”

Oh … and they aren’t all out west, either. He’s going to New York. And Paris and Amsterdam. And he’ll hear the ever grateful Joyce DiDonato as Romeo. I’m jealous, even if I am a hermit of sorts.
