… There’s a big cloud of ashes that an unpronounceble volcano in Iceland threw out and there is no flying, no no no…
Simon is flying!!!! look out for the big, dark cloud!!!!
But when you are the conductor of the best orchestra in the whole world, well, nothing, not even nature is going to stop you and your musicians from getting to the funeral service you are supposed to perform ….
Not everyone has been grounded by the volcanic ash. Cellist Anna Carewe joined conductor Simon Rattle and 22 other Berlin Philharmonic string-players in a military helicopter to play at the Cracow funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski.
“Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, and Nicolas Sarkozy didn’t make it to the funeral because of the ash, but we did,” said Carewe from her Berlin home. “We flew right behind (German president) Horst Koehler. It was quite an experience.”
Oh yes. It takes more than a volcano and its ashes to stop Simon, the Flying english man and his berliners…
