We checked out Ry's new blog but still are not able to leave comments there. I don't want to trouble you with it but thought you'd want to know. We tried with both Firefox and Safari web browsers. We click upon "0 Comments" or "Leave a Comment" nothing happens.

Sweetie said, "Oh!! That is so her!" when she saw the new template. :)

We are studying Tchaikovsky now, too! You'll have to see if you can't find the CD The Story of Swan Lake [sound recording] / music by Tchaikovsky by Maestro Classics. It was very informative. Another one that is great is "Tchaikovsky Discovers America" (there is a whole series of these featuring different composers).

:D
