  It strongly suggests that Levine has just cut the cheese in a major way and that the pianist is (appropriately) shocked and disgusted.

    Hey jam2063…I accept your thoughts. Jimmy L. is what you would call ‘being RIPE!’ What I want to know is what TYPE of cheese, is it ? Perhaps a rancid Gorganzola? …….Nah! Has to be one of those abombinable aquirmy ‘bombs’ – like Dutch ‘Fynbo’. I am much too respectful…’you know me’ to actually state what they taste like…..but, I think , you can guess.. Absolute f#*kin’ s#*t!

    Perhaps if we hear now , that patrons didn’t like a perfomance at the MET and had close seats to the orchestra / and James L. was conducting… the photo might give ‘the clue’ – why not!
    Just teething troubles from Gelb’s innovation of ‘Live HD Smell-o-Rama’!

  Pianist to Levine: “Excuse me, did I miss a cue …or did you ‘open your lunch’ by mistake? “

  “Damn – that diaper is itchy tonight!”

  I think I prefer the former, more moribund Levine.

  I admit to a mighty curiousity to know what the real circumstance was that led to this “unusual photo”. Cara La Cieca, could you please enlighten us at some point?

  Don´t shoot the piano player, he´s doing his best. But by all means, laser beam the maestro.

  “No… wire… hangers. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER? I work and work ’till I’m half-dead, and I hear people saying, “She’s getting old.” And what do I get?”

  There once was a maestro named Jimmy
  Whose stick technique caused him to shimmy
  His plus-sized derriere
  Landed splat on Pierre
  Who said “Zut! Quelle downbeat he gimme”
