I've been wracking my brains trying to think of a suitable 'you forgot to mention....' but you didn't and I'm not clever enough to think of any famous classical music or musician obscure enough that would make you giggle like I just have through this entire essay! Bloody brilliant Anna... love this heaps!
I used to wonder, seeing those "saw you" ads in the Village Voice, if anyone had ever connected that way—or had any person who was seen ever even read one of these and known it was them. This piece is the best answer I could've hoped for.
I feel like you’re Ramona Quimby, grown up.
Anna, you are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks Holly! Happy to be of service

Thanks Susie! That exchange was between me and friends on facebook, although I would (I think?) like to take credit for all of the puns...
Giving you a standing ovation over here.
curtseying. Thanks Ally!!
This is so fun!
Glad you liked it! Thank you
Clever punning, Anna. 😁💕 I always wanted to be the subject of an “I saw you”- they seemed impossibly romantic to me once.
They were so popular for a time. One of my friends (the one in this piece actually) was the recipient of one and ended up marrying the writer!

I used to wonder this, too!
The friend in this story also responded to an "I saw you" and ended up marrying the writer of it!
So great!
Funniest thing I’ve ever read about sex and classical music.
Ha! Thanks Rona
I love your scathing dismissal of the grown up guy who has his shit together!
Vivid as ever, great puns - and beautiful music in the Gould documentary.
Thanks Wendy. My tastes have mellowed since then, thankfully...
My favorite Bach piece!
Mine too, second movement
Some of the Best Storytelling I've read on here. Awesome.
Wow! Thank you
OMG, I never saw so many composers' names on the same page! And so well used in the dialogue. Anna, well done.
Thanks Larisa. My favorite was someone's suggestion I take him out for Ligeti.
Let me guess, why is Ligeti... For he was a modern and atmospheric?
