The Mozart Cafe

At noon we met Harold and his wife, the pianist Jane Perry-Camp, at one of their favorite establishments--The Mozart Cafe. Only, no Mozart was filling the coffee house. It sounded like either American pop or country music. Oh well, the pastries on their shelves were to die for, and we spent a good while deciding which ones we wanted. We decided the appropriate choice was the Alma (apple) pastry, with delicious nuts and ground seeds (maybe coriander?) in it, along with espresso, brought with tiny bowls of whipped cream. Harold was happy with it all.



So was Jane!



And then Judy, Connie, and Szidi arrived.



Here is Szidónia Juhász, , fluent in English, who has done so much to facilitate Harold's projects in Hungary, translating liner notes, as well as my own poems for the Gyor program to follow in the evening. Szidi lives in Budapest. She and the Schiffmans have become close friends over the years. She has promised to record my poems in Hungarian.
